With all due respect, my OP contained a relevant anecdote (Largest methane gas leak in US history, also in southern California). I didn't say whether democrats are good or bad, I just asserted that they don't care, and I offered the relevant anecdote about how the attorney general who reviewed the previous methane gas leak has continued to ascend in politics, while no criminal charges have been filed. I think many people are probably not aware of the additional context I have brought to this situation, and I certainly think it is notable given the thread. I would like to know why exactly you think my post is flamebait. I expressed a single opinion, not saying if it is good or bad result - and provided evidence to support my opinion. Plenty of people make posts on Hackernews like "Facebook doesn't respect user privacy" - which is obviously controversial. I cannot help but feel like my post was singled out because some people think that the objective truths in my post are inconvenient.
