    As far as I know, Rudy did not show up at a single funeral held for any victim of the 9/11 disease.

    Most of the ‘Ground Zero’ workers were there without respirators because George W. Bush’s people claimed the air was safe.

      It’s interesting that even now whenever there are major fires or explosions officials continue to make claims that the air is safe. I feel like out of everything that’s happened in the US that 9/11 would have taught us about the dangers of fires and explosions…but here we are. (I would have said everything that’s happened in the world but we all know that the US doesn’t learn anything from international events)

        New York City didn’t learn anything. The biggest change after 9/11 was that the Fire Department and the Police each sent one captain to sit in the other’s headquarters. Too much toxic pride to actually put them together under one roof. And don’t get me started on the patchwork quilt that is EMS.
