A stinking trainload of human waste from New York City is stranded in a tiny Alabama town…

That’s nothing compared to the “stinking trainload of human waste from New York City” that is currently occupying the White House.

Scott Pruitt: What’s the problem? There’s money to be made in shit and rotting corpses!

Why is Alabama complaining? Isn’t this what they voted for over the years?

“Would New York City like for us to send all our poop up there forever?” she said. “They don’t want to dump it in their rivers, but I think each state should take care of their own waste.”

Well, then why did you send Jeff Sessions to Washington?

The landfill has been accepting the New York sewage sludge since early 2017.

So that’s what Jared Kushner’s back-channel from Trump Tower thing was all about!

Yup. Right here’s the key passage:

Alabama’s inexpensive land and permissive zoning laws and a federal ban on dumping New Yorkers’ excrement in the ocean got the poop train chugging, experts say.

Nelson Brooke of the environmental group Black Warrior Riverkeeper, describes Alabama as “kind of an open-door, rubber-stamp permitting place” for landfill operators.

Blame your state government folks, not New York.

In related news, the inhabitants of a small village in Siberia are complaining of the wretched odor from millions of gallons of human urine carted in from a Moscow hotel room.

Bingo. This is what you get when you don’t regulate business, and you’re opposed to regulations that would protect the environment. Alabamans, don’t blame NYC for sending its shit down: if you throw open the door and let the world know that you’re welcoming all sorts of shit into your state, guess what you’ll find on your doorstep?

Notice the complete disconnect when speaking to folks in Alabama. They blame New York and not their own government that invites the shit storm upon them.

Dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Someday it’s going to come
'Cause I’m on the edge of darkness
There ride the Poop Train!

I love the smell of lax zoning regulations in the morning. It smells like Repulicanism.

“We’re probably going to look at creating some simple zoning laws for the town of Parrish so we can be sure something like this does not happen again,” the Parrish mayor said. Hall said she’s optimistic the sludge will all be trucked to the landfill soon.

I’m sympathetic to your plight, Ms. Pike, honestly I am, but I’m not seeing where it’s New York that screwed the pooch on this one. Maybe don’t elect officials who will let some local company sell ill-gotten rights to dump that icky coastal elite poop.
