Earlier this month a train carrying several tons of toxic chemicals derailed in the city of east palestine, igniting them and releasing toxic fumes into the air, water, and food supply. Many residents who lived there reported a burning sensation when they walked outside as well as an irritated throat. One reddit user even posted a video of their coffee SIZZLING when they poured the milk in, showing the polluted water supply. Hundreds of pictures have appeared on the internet of dead fish in rivers, dead livestock, etc. If you thought it couldn’t get worse, you would be way wrong. Reporters who have tried to enter the area have been met with detainment from police. The company who ran the train had recently done budget cuts including cutting the rail maintenance, meaning that yet again a company put profits over peoples safety. The officials in Ohio have put out an evacuation order, the residents not knowing if/when they will be allowed to return have had to abandon their houses and livelyhoods. The same rail company (worth 10s of billions of dollars) offered a measly 25000 dollars for the residents, 5 DOLLARS PER PERSON. Not even enough to afford a foot long at subway.
Oh, but there is more. Just this morning a factory producing metals exploded this morning spewing molten metal all over the city, killing one person And injuring 13, and yet again polluting the air, water, and food supply. "We will work alongside investigators in their search for answers as part of our commitment to Northeast Ohio, where we have been operating for more than 100 years," I. Schumann and Co. said in a address to the press.
With this i ask, what the hell is happening in Ohio?
