Residents of East Palestine , Ohio are experiencing weird symptoms after the train derailment: difficulty breathing, chest pains and more

These are symptoms of phosgene gas exposure — caused from burning vinyl chloride. It was used as a weapon in WWI

Norfolk Southern discharged more vinyl chloride into that small town in one day than *all* the American industries discharge in a year—combined

Gov. Mike DeWine (R) "I don't see a problem"

@flexghost The stunt of he and an 'official' drinking water from a tap was insensitive to say the least.

@flexghost This old White man is evil. He doesn’t care about his constituents. He was and is playing politics and theater from day one.

@Mallulady you can tell all that from the R by his name

@flexghost
Mike DeWine is PART of the problem

@flexghost Is that a milk man behind him? A Maytag repairman?

@flexghost OMG. This is a disaster. How many live in this area?

@Language1230 5000 in the immediate area but the air and water traveling is worrisome

@flexghost of course he doesn't see a problem, as considering it a problem would be woke liberal communism

@flexghost @donmelton Why would that state’s Governor take this position?

But the Governor said the CEO of the railroad said it would be fine....

hence the term "railroaded"....

Of course the Governer doesn't see a problem... it's a pretty dirt poor town and he just doesn't care...

Generic Republican algorithm:

IF My pocketbook isn’t affected AND
My property isn’t affected AND My donors aren’t affected AND My family isn’t affected THEN I don’t see a problem.
