[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised there isn't a thread on this already.   Have people seen the reports of farmers and people living outside of the mandatory evacuation zone are seeing livestock and animals die from the released vinyl chloride carcinogenic gas.

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?  [/quote]

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.
