Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

It was swept under the rug? You could argue it should've had wider reporting and more backlash with swifter action, but I don't think it was covered up. Everyone knows it happened because the rail company failed to maintain properly.
Does everyone really know that? I'd say that the fact that the event was politicized as something that was just Trump's fault for deregulating some of the code on brakes as opposed to a result of decades of decaying infrastructure is at least obfuscation, if not a deliberate coverup.
Yeah its called a news cycle, things come and go
