My priors: I've lived in (chemically toxic) Silicon Valley for decades near a long-term Superfund site created by a long-gone semiconductor facility. I'm also a former Midwestener who understands the importance of the Ohio River ecosystem. In my personal sense of current importance, balloons over North American, maybe all from China, get my news and political attention since it could have both personal and global impact. So at this point, I don't blame the Democratic Party or capitalism or various media although I recognize they aren't my friends either. I may change my mind in a month, course, if events prove catastrophic. Or if I eventually develop cancer because semiconductors. Apologies to the fine citizens of Ohio. And thanks ChickenNugger for the opportunity to think about the situation.
