Speaking of train derailments in #Ohio, https://nu.federati.net/url/289797 [www nbclosangeles com] the #EPA has ordered the railroad to test for dioxins, after political leaders raised concerns.
The real concern is that they haven't understood this. You have a lower income, mostly White community that feels like the government is neglecting them ... and rather than respond in force and pursue every option to protect and compensate, they are dribbling in a little bit of assistance here and a little bit there.
I understand that this is the normal way they do these things, but the danger is that there are right-wing groups saying that the federal government would have responded faster and more intensely if a minority community was endangered. Most of us know that isn't true at all, but these groups will be making the claim and relying on the news media to show the slow rollout and then saying ... "you know this happened because the government doesn't care about White people" and campaigning for the most repugnant of racists.
He lives in a small micro-urban area of #Ohio and it sounds like their #TV and #Internet options are limited. He's trying to figure out how to bring such options to the local residents, given his limited budget.
I remember being in #Ohio. Someone locally recommended a barber, so I went there after work one day. By the next day, I was looking for someone to almost shave my head because the original barber had done such a horrible butchery on my hair.
The next time my hair needed cutting, I bought clippers and did it myself. Since that time, I always do it myself unless I'm in my #SoCal hometown.
#TIL There are as many versions of #burgoo as cooks throughout the Greater Burgoo Diaspora, which is basically #Kentucky, southern #Illinois and #Indiana, as well as parts of #Ohio River Valley.
That's about USD$18K, according to exchange rate sites. In #California, that is less than a full-time minimum wager makes. Possibly, the cost of living is low enough in #Ontario to make it worthwhile? Or are you going to commute from NE #Ohio? CC: @bobjonkman
