No it's not. Most things between East Palestine and the Gulf of Mexico have, in fact, not been killed.

Exactly. EPA allowed them to quickly blow up the poisons so they could get their trains moving asap. Worst environmental decision in the history of the EPA.

The social media troll farms are ginning up outrage for government and company alike, I think. The end goal is big paydays from the class action suits.

End game is to fairly compensate the many, many victims. EPA egregiously allowed the massive blow-up, poisoning much of the country.

Haha, no. The end game is to richly compensate a few class action attorneys. But we do need to vote out "small government" politicians and regulate the hell out of corporations who are polluting our air and water.

Has DeWine declared a state of emergency?

Nutter

Has the person in charge of speeding help to the community declared a state of emergency (that's what a governor declaring a state of emergency does)

Oh wait. Dewine is R. He gets to hide and be incompetent while all the voices blame the federal government.

Today a hazmat crew was dispatched to Gothenburg, Nebraska for another train derailment of 30 cars.

I have been distracted by all the UFO/Chinese balloon reports and haven't had been following the the train derailment. Is Norfolk Southern really only providing 25k to the town?


My father worked for Norfolk and Southern and it is a hellish existence. Profits and efficiency over everything. So, I would not be surprised if that measly payout was true.

But, look, Ohio overwhelmingly votes in a way that is against regulation, against environment, against education, against union. This is so despite the miserable environmental disasters of the past (Burning Cuyahoga anyone?) and that many, many, MANY People in that state benefit from unions and regulation. My entire family was blue collar at once and their stances and votes boggles my mind. I'm not saying don't help these people - I grew up not that far from there- I'm not Trump and only wanting to help those that support my views. But I also don't have a lot of sympathy anymore.

What was the alternative, Mr. Expert? Do tell. And explain your hazmat experience in your explanation.

Norfolk Southern will pay with or without troll farms.
