Accident waiting to happen?

Evidently, nuclear power plants are so dangerous that since 1985 when it was reopened, the first accident it has had since then is in 2009. It must be terrible to have an accident every 30+ years.

It is a good thing that nothing else is that dangerous. Like we never see any politician working on passing 2000+ page bills that are impossible to understand, much less enforce. No wait. That accident waiting to happen is working its way through the senate right now. Most politicians seem to think that this is one disaster that people will enjoy. Or at least one disaster that politicians (who think they are all above the law) will enjoy.

It is a good thing that we only see automobile accidents once every 30+ years. No wait. We see automobile accidents at least once every 30 minutes. Nobody seems to mind. In fact, our government so likes automobile accidents that it refused to allow business that build and sell automobiles to go out of business.

So maybe accidents are good. At least if they are enacted and enabled or subsidized by our government.
