My brother lives less than 15 miles downwind from the site of the disaster. He's young, just graduated from trade school, found a welding job in the area and brought his wife and one year-old daughter. In 50 years I'm sure we'll consider this whole region a superfund site and hand out pennies to the people whose lives were completely upended as a result.
It's a travesty how this has been handled. Massively rich corporations deflecting blame, lying to the public, and trying to cover up their own malfeasance in the pursuit of relentless greed. Profits over people, as usual.

Do you have any evidence of this being mishandled, or is this just parroting the reddit narrative?
- croutonwagon 4y agoI was watching the Ohio governor guarantee the safety of the water and environment there and was just thinking to myself "This guy will end up eating these words" as well as "this is why i dont like politicians". He kept quoting the EPA, even after the interviewer mentioned the EPA certificiations didnt consider all the chemicals released. He still kept drilling the science says its fine. As if health science understanding and discoveries arent paved in blood at this point. If i lived int he region i would probably be considering moving.
