But but! They've already contributed $7.3 million to the people of East Palestine! (ie $1,460 per person). That should be more than enough, right?

From the article it sounds like the EPA was in favour of lowering the threshold levels for federal clean-up but the Obama administration nixed it.

Well, the one branch absolutely should have required the new safety tests, and maybe they assumed Boeing had informed the other branch of the changes? But never trust giant corporations to self-regulate I think is the takeaway message. Boeing is overwhelmingly responsible for the crashes. They even continued to hide the issues with MCAS after the first crash.

The original MCAS system was supposed to be very rarely used with several backup sensors. After it was approved by FAA, Boeing changed the design, allowing the system to run at almost all times and making it rely on a sole sensor (which is absolutely bonkers engineering). They intentionally hid the changes from the FAA certifiers so they wouldn't have to retrain pilots. In fact, they specifically requested that the MCAS system be removed from training manuals, so 737 pilots didn't even know about it till it started making headlines.
There was a branch of the FAA that did know about the changes, but they didn't require Boeing to rerun their safety tests on the new system. However, they also weren't the certifying branch.

No doubt. It's absolutely nuts trying to find an apartment in this city. Every listing has hundreds of people interested and prices have skyrocketed. Meanwhile I looked up how many airbnbs are in my neighbourhood and on my block alone there were at least 20. I would love it if someone actually fucking did something about it.
