Hey Trumpers- This is what unfettered capitalism leads to

Highways shut, flights grounded as smog blankets China's Tianjin

By Norihiko Shirouzu and Natalie Thomas | BEIJING
Authorities in Tianjin grounded dozens of flights and closed most highways on Sunday after severe smog blanketed the city, one of more than more than 40 in China's northeast to issue pollution warnings in the past 48 hours.

Air quality index (AQI) readings at some monitoring stations in Tianjin, a port and industrial city southeast of Beijing, peaked above 400, state-run news agency Xinhua said. Anything above 300 is considered hazardous by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

China's environmental watchdog issued a five-day warning on Friday about choking smog spreading across the northeast and ordered factories to shut, recommended residents stay indoors and curbed traffic and construction work.

Pollution alerts have become increasingly common in China's northern industrial heartland, especially during winter when energy demand - much of it met by coal - skyrockets.

1. Libertarian scholars had their chance in Chile to show that unfettered capitalism works.

The result: The rich got richer, the poor got poorer, infrastructure degraded and and the overall well-being of the country diminished.

2. Yeah, this too

Oh, they had regulations. Nobody bothered to enforce them and then this happened.

And yes, people were living in big apartment blocks that close to the blast site.

3. A common misconception among Liberals

is that Trump voters may actually care about dirty air and water.

4. Well they certainly vote like they don't care

I suspect that they think all those pollutants either won't happen (magical thinking) or will happen to someone else, preferably of the darker skinned variety.

It's like in WV, they vote ever more strongly for the R's even after repeated mine disasters and pollution incidents.
