Today in Labor History April 5, 2010: Twenty-nine coal miners were killed in an explosion at the Upper Big Branch Mine in West Virginia. In 2015, Former Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship was convicted of a misdemeanor for conspiring to willfully violate safety standards and was sentenced to one year in prison. He was found not guilty of charges of securities fraud and making false statements. Investigators also found that the U.S. Department of Labor and its Mine Safety and Health Administration were guilty of failing to act decisively, even after Massey was issued 515 citations for safety violations at the Upper Big Branch mine in 2009, prior to the deadly explosion.

So, the U.S. Dept of Labor, back when the U.S. staffed and funded its regulatory agencies, allowed a murderous boss to get away with 515 safety violations, resulting in the deaths of 29 miners, without any consequences for its bosses. And the courts gave the murderous CEO of Massey Energy a year in a Country Club prison for those same 29 worker deaths. But they’re gonna try Luigi Mangione for first-degree murder and seek the death penalty because he supposedly killed a murderous white-collar crook?

As they say, there is no Justice for the working-class; but there’s plenty of “Just Us” for the wealthy, as in court rulings just for them; subsidies and tax right-offs just for them; elite clubs and resorts just for them; and the right, just for them, to kill their workers and consumers in the pursuit of profits.

Eh Eye Ate Dub Yah ✡︎ :ally:

There was an explosion in Detroit this morning. An apartment building. 12 people injured.

Cause is under investigation.

What bothers me is that people are more concerned about why an emergency alert was sent to cellphones in the area about the explosion than they are about the people who just got injured and lost their homes.

"Holy fuck god damnit why am I being inconvenienced by a MESSAGE ON MY PHONE over an explosion that happened 20 miles away?"

Because, Karen:
1) you might have friends or family in the area.
2) it's Monday morning and your commute might take you past that area, so now you can avoid the lookie-loos.
3) Explosion. Unknown cause. Could be an accident, could be a meth lab, could be terrorism. The last two are a concern, so err on the side of caution.

People piss me the fuck off sometimes. Show some empathy and quit whinging about getting an emergency alert on your cellphone, Karen, you self-centered, narcissistic asshole.

#Rakete made in #Bayern.
Und das merkt man:
Kurz nach dem Start ist #Spectrum von #Isar #Aerospace abgestürzt.
Während die dt. Medien und der offizielle Livestream nur zeigen, wie die Rakete in der Luft "hängt", kann man hier bei einem frz. YouTuber später den Absturz samt #Explosion sehen.

Bin mal auf die Statements von #Söder und Co. gespannt.
