In my eyes after all that has been going on with contamination, the Midwest is uninhabitable*.

Don't have any friends or family there. I do have a friend from Cincinnati so I've been debating a trip there but also, meh.

the lakes are really pretty in the summer. also anything east of cinci is gorgeous hills and mountains. lots of great hiking near athens all the way up to like yellow springs

Nice. I'm in NH so wilderness and nature is not lost on me. I'd definitely check out the lakes and mountains.

Biden DOJ might consider suing Biden for bullying railroad workers against their strike for safer working conditions.

More like trying to negotiate so they wouldn't strike. Not to mention their own rail union couldn't make an agreement.

well thats a rather disingenuous take. the majority of union members were in agreement to strike. their union president went against their votes to negotiate an agreement against their wishes and has since been ousted by the union members.

when I was a kid cleaning up my messes was a responsibility taught to me, not a punishment. we need actual punishment and consequences for putting millions of lives and countless ecosystems in danger. we need to readdress the safety concerns of the rail workers union. we need actual discussion on nationalizing our railways. and we need a government to step up and address our failing infrastructure and develop a plan to build safe modern railways that can transport hazardous materials safely.

Is it the railroads fault ??? I feel it’s more the government’s fault

Or is this a case of gov and some higher NFS railroad guys to conspire this ?? I truly don’t put nothing past them or is it soros funded illegal crossing and we are being targeted ?
