In a way Carlson/MAGA Neo-Kayfabe GOP may have a point - rural poor white Americans are forgotten. They reframe the narrative with politicians and media they own for profitable race-based grievance divisiveness purposes clouding business as usual settlements, fines, or fees attempting to make communities whole again paling vastly in comparison to billions upon billions in factual reality profits.

We need to understand of the chemical breakdown of vinyl chloride. Most burns into hydrochloric acid which is bad to rain down on you, but reacts quickly as an acid forming various salts. Most probably reacts to form Calcium Chloride, which is in fact very soluble in water. But it is relatively non-toxic to plants and soil. (It is used as a food additive). Magnesium Chloride is another likely salt. It is used in road de-icing, but not in the concentrations like this zone. #OhioTrainwreck

Twenty cars holding natural gas would have the same explosiveness as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

This needs to change....[[|:-(
