Here we are, a couple weeks out from the disaster in East Palestine. A disaster some are calling "Chernobyl 2.0." I've had time to think about this. Obviously the residents will have to deal directly with devastating health effects and environmental problems for an unknown amount of time, but it also affects the rest of us.

My personal takeaway... I'm going to have a real hard time caring about the emissions systems on my motor vehicles after seeing 1.1 million pounds of vinyl chloride spilled then subsequently LIT ON FIRE.
