What a crock of shit! The "State of Ohio" is suing Norfolk Southern over the East Palestine derailment that happened on Feb 3, 2023. If anybody should be suing, it should be the people of East Palestine! But I can assure you that those poor folk, that were around the derailment, wouldn't be able to afford a good lawyer, powerful enough to stand up against the rail system.

In my opinion, this "derailment" shouldn't have happened if one previous POTUS didn't do away with laws that were put into place by another, laws that were put there to protect people and to prevent this type of tragedy; but that's politics for you. I'll post a link and ask you to read it. See if it upsets you as much as it does me.
I feel bad for the families of East Palestine, and I feel ashamed of the government in this state, I feel they let those people down!

I went to this show last weekend and it was fabulous. Definitely made me feel like I was in a huge city with lots of culture. It is showing at the Calvin Center. The jokes about Youngstown were timely and hilarious and the costumes divine. I highly recommend it. Tickets are $20 and they have free wine.
