It’s no wonder we had an average of 1,704 train derailments per year from 1990 to 2021, especially with tracks like these in Ohio.

But ya, let’s keep sending more money to Ukraine. 🤡

"WE SELL THE WORLD TO BUY FIRE

OUR WAY LIGHTED BY BURNING MEN" 

All goes back to the earth,
and so I do not desire
pride of excess or power,
but the contentments made
by men who have had little:
the fisherman’s silence
receiving the river’s grace,
the gardener’s musing on rows.

I lack the peace of simple things.
I am never wholly in place.
I find no peace or grace.
We sell the world to buy fire,
our way lighted by burning men,
and that has bent my mind
and made me think of darkness
and wish for the dumb life of roots.

Once you learn #BlackRock, #Vanguard, and #JPMorgan are the biggest stockholders of #NorfolkSouthern, the train operator that crashed in Ohio, then you realize why there has been a major media blackout on the toxic chemical disaster Can’t risk losing that ad revenue!

 

 

 

PALABRA Y CARNE (#OHIORIVER)

PALABRA Y CARNE

Our most serious problem, perhaps, is that we have become a nation of fantasists ... We have an economy that depends not on the quality and quantity of necessary goods and services, but on the moods of a few stockbrokers. We believe that democratic freedom can be preserved by people ignorant of the history of democracy and indifferent to the responsibilities of freedom.

Our leaders have been for many years as oblivious to the realities and dangers of their time as were George III and Lord North. They believe that the difference between war and peace is still the overriding political difference—when, in fact, the difference has diminished to the point of insignificance. How would you describe the difference between modern war and modern industry—between, say, bombing and strip mining, or between chemical warfare and chemical manufacturing? The difference seems to be only that in war the victimization of humans is directly intentional and in industry it is “accepted” as a “trade-off.”

(…)

Were the catastrophes of Love Canal, Bhopal, Chernobyl, and the Exxon Valdez episodes of war or of peace? They were, in fact, peacetime acts of aggression, intentional to the extent that the risks were known and ignored.
