It’s really all of Florida, and it’s because there’s every type of bad driver on the road there.

Miami is the worst and 95 North between like Brickell and the Turnpike junction by dolphin stadium is the closest thing to mad max you'll ever see. Albeit with a south american flavor.

Point, Florida has every type of bad US driver and Miami throws in more and more bad South/central American drivers. It’s interesting how all of a hemisphere’s terrible drivers know to congregate in one spot like moths to a light.

Unlike magnets, theyre drawn to their own. Most likely so that way they arent the worst driver in their area.

Plus, that’s not the worst part of VA. I nearly died multiple times at the 95/495 mixing bowl before it’s construction was complete. NoVA has a nice mix of rich assholes who don’t give an inch in their BMW, drug addicts, and non licensed-motorist to make things interesting.

VA drivers completely forget how to drive if it's foggy. It's nuts to me after growing up in the CA Central valley which is a muddy, foggy hellscape every winter. Like, turn your lights on and reduce speed a bit?

Nope, gotta cruise-control piledrive myself into the minivan ahead of me

I grew up in Tampa and my wife is from Miami, I still think NoVA is worse. Beyond the gridlock, you see just crazy stuff that makes no sense. Like Miami and Tampa both have a bunch of old retirees and south/central American immigrants, but I feel like having lived and driven those areas I was equipped to deal with it. NoVA would just have completely unpredictable things happen like people trying to cut through traffic by going down a one way road the wrong way, or hopping a round about to pass.

I think the area with the worst drivers that I have been through has probably been Colorado Springs. Roads that seem to me to be laid out by a blind mad man, lots of cars in various states of disrepair, in a state with a nebulous concept of traffic laws all surrounding an Army base.

Yeah, I don't think this is bad by Trump's standards at all. I've had really brief shudders like that that come over you like an instant goose-bumpy chill and then they're gone. You're a bit startled for a split-second over whatever odd compulsion your body had, like when you hit your elbow, you acknowledge it, and then you move on.

Except Trump can't admit to any form of weakness, ever, not even a completely human moment where he shudders. So he pretends he didn't lose a step and continues with his usual word salad, which in this case is the old talking point that anyone who wishes you a merry christmas is super brave, because dems and war on christmas and yadda yadda.

The man doesn't need to be committed to a clinic for some brief involuntary bodily reaction. He needs to be committed to a clinic for being a demented sundowner that rambles on incoherently on a "good" day, and committed to prison for being a racist and corrupt piece of poo poo.

The OSHA thread has been looking at that disaster with a growing sense of horror. Click through to see the full quotes.

This is how a superfund site is born. Some context, this is the stuff they made the movie Erin Brockovich about. It's doubtful he was storing dilute solution, so it's likely inside of his building (and in the ground water table) is contaminated with the full strength stuff.

More photos of the actual operation.



That's the "sludge" drying in the basement. Note the industrial strength box fan assisting the process. Sludge is likely a mixture of lead chromate, lead, hex chrome, and god knows what else they put into the tanks.



The lab.



The plating operation itself. Note the steam rising up from one of the tanks. This place was operating when these photos were taken.



Yes, the center tank says cyanide. Somewhere buried in all those chemicals is probably leaking drums of potassium cyanide.



Finally we tour the open air chemical storage area.

I'm not sure how a business can do this. Where I work (in Michigan) we have a few thousand gallons of similar rather nasty chemicals and OSHA, EGLE, and the EPA visits at least once a year.
