Here we go again.
Count us incredulous at this point (and we’re sure we aren’t the only ones), but it looks as though there has been yet another explosion at a Chinese chemical facility, this time in Liaoning.
The blast triggered what looks like a sizable fire and the cause is under investigation. Allow us to speculate: either some factory owners with Party connections were able to skirt safety restrictions again possibly leading to the catastrophic loss of life and the release of untold pollutants into the air and water or else someone had some excess inventory they needed to vaporize.

If you live near an American chemical plant, this would be a good time to take that vacation. Now it’s our turn to lose one.
