No One in East Palestine Believes Anything the Biden Administration Is Telling Them
2023-02-27
[PJ] Residents of East Palestine, Ohio, the site of a train derailment of cars filled with toxic chemicals, have started to refer to their town of 4,700 as "The New Love Canal." That Niagra Falls neighborhood has been the poster child for uninhabitable housing since the 1970s. Given what happened in East Palestine, it appears that history may be repeating itself.

It’s been clear since the derailment happened on February 3 that the Biden administration has been uninterested in doing much of anything to help. Yes, they sent the EPA, and Mayor Pete showed up in a really super cool pair of dress boots. But beyond that, what has the Biden administration done?

They’re going to hold Norfolk Southern Railroad responsible. But what about the sudden and unexplained illnesses cropping up in residents exposed to the toxic stew that federal officials are telling them not to worry about?

#4  Terrorists, both foreign and domestic, would love to know which trains carry which explosive and toxic chemicals. Derailing just any old train is boring.

Every so often, the big blue cities try to ban the transport of a chemical or two. The Feds have not allowed them to interfere with interstate commerce. Yet. Maybe this is a start of another run at a ban, to create more transport havoc, shortages, and higher prices. And inflation.
