    But it… doesn’t talk about that at all? Seriously, you’re being a huge dick to me about all this, but once again it’s just not in there. The closest we get is this:

    Officials also believed the agency had enough authority to respond to the derailment without declaring an emergency.

    Which is discussing long term incident response, as clarified in another article on the same topic from The Independent:

    The aftermath of last year’s fiery train derailment in eastern Ohio doesn’t qualify as a public health emergency because widespread health problems and ongoing chemical exposures haven’t been documented, federal officials said.

    It doesn’t talk about the immediate incident response, the thing I’m criticizing Buttigieg for.

      This goes back to the problem of you only seeing what you wish to see, as I mentioned in an earlier comment.

      The article discusses who had authority and who didn’t and why. If you fail to comprehend that, that’s your own problem, but it doesn’t magically make you correct.

        So I’ve… just shown you’re wrong, and now you’re just going to copy-paste the same thing to be churlish? I mean, go ahead I guess. But this sure feels like every time I explain myself coherently or make a decent point, you pivot your tactics to insulting or dismissing me.
