Still isn’t obvious that the alternative is safer. Like I said, railcars hurt people in ways that have nothing to do with chlorine every day.
Why that would be like Coca-Cola To Stop Using Cocaine....oh....wait...nevermind.
Question. Is there any negative to storing Clorox in ones basement? I might go buy up enough to last me the rest of my life and put it in the basement. I can’t imagine living without Clorox. I use it for just about everything I clean; laundry, bathrooms, kitchen.
I used to work in insurance claims. Co-worker told me of a claim he handled for damages against the EMT.
Seems a woman who lived in an apartment was doing her weekend cleaning, and left a concoction brewing in the porcelain throne. Her husband, wanting a place to read his paper and smoke his pipe in peace, decided that was just the place. He lit up, there was an explosion, and his wife found him unconscious on the floor. Called an ambulance. By the time the crew had him down the first flight of stairs, he came to. So they asked what happened. When he told them, they laughed so hard they flipped him over the rail, and he broke his leg.
ROTFLOL. Your family sounds like a barrel of laughs. Life is good in such a family.

I would rather have a liquid chlorine spill a block away than a GAS chlorine spill 10 blocks away per car. Rail cars are a very efficient way of moving materials that are sometimes even toxic because we are generally willing to take the risk. If Clorox chooses to reduce the risk I have no problem with it. If it were by government mandate I would oppose it because as you say rail cars hurt people all the time and this has not been a significant problem.
Someone has to make the 15% bleach. Sounds like they are simply transferring the risks to some third world hell-hole, like Union Carbide did with Bhopal.
Good-bye white undies.
My Mom was exactly same. She was never far away from her bowl of bleach water, just in case something needed de-germification. I don’t think she had an article of clothing without white spots.
Yup. I can certainly sympathize.
LOL! My little brother went after a fly with a hammer once - fly got out through the broken window. But he was a preschooler at the time. :-)
From your description, it's a wonder that it wasn't the Q-tip that got jettisoned across the room.

It is, crazy as we all are, it's been a good life.
Same with mine. Crazy, but loyal and kind. Can't ask for much more.
