Less Than Tyrannical Feds Fine Freedom Industries Whopping $11,000 For Poisoning Water of 300,000 People, Because Freedom

The over-reaching, over-regulating, money-grubbing feds of OSHA have fined Freedom Industries an exorbitant $11,000 for last January's massive spill of coal cleaning chemicals that left over 300,000 West Virginians without safe water, one in five people with reported health issues, and local businesses down an estimated $61 million. Yeah, that'll show 'em. Also, the "clean-up" site is still leaking - twice, last month - but Freedom officials say it's only because of "heavy rain" overflowing a trench whose design is "evolving" (they blamed the initial disaster on cold) and who could've predicted rain? Despite a fast-approaching deadline, only 78 families have filed legal claims against the company, perhaps because its murky leaders conveniently filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. No wonder the right keeps whining about over-regulation cramping their style. Damn socialism.
