EAST PALENSTINE

I suspect that many of you expect me to comment on the train derailment and subsequent chemical fire because of my chemical engineering background. I have avoided it because I think that it that it has been covered pretty well. Listen burning vinyl chloride results in a gas that like mustard gas was used in WWI and given the other chemicals involved would no doubt create hydrochloric acid. This is not a good thing.

But the point of this rant is that the federal government response,Mayor Pete that means you and the EPA and state governments have totally ignored the problem so that the railroad involved could reopen and damned be the mostly white citizens. Since they can’t make it about minorities they don’t care. Pete go there and spend a couple days at ground zero and then tell the people whose lives were destroyed that there is nothing to see here. You won’t because you’re a charlatan. This entire administration is incompetent. Where did all the infrastructure money go? Apparently not to improve the rails. Most of it went to friends of the Dems with no accountability. The teachers used it not to improve school safety but to raise their wages and keep from teaching. Btw as you know I think that may have been a plus because it reduced their indoctrination time.
