@POTUS forced the @RailroadWorkers to stop striking by threatening them all with life in prison.

The rail unions were striking in November/December over something called #PSR.
#PSR is Precision Scheduled Railroading it means fewer crews, less maintenance, fewer days off, longer trains, and just general unsafe business practices all in the name of keeping trains moving at all times to maximize profits
Profits that were then taken by the hedge funds that own the railroad companies so that they can buy back their own stock which they have done at record rates coincidentally ever since #PSR became the common practice in the last 5 - 10 years depending on railroad company
On February, 3rd a train heading from Illinois towards Conway station ran over a sensor that detects heat on the train wheels and axles that told them their wheels were on fire.
Instead of STOPPING and inspecting and repairing the damage the crew on the train was ORDERED by dispatch to keep going towards Conway

SO FOR OVER 20 MILES UNTIL IT HIT EAST PALESTINE THE TRAIN WAS GOING 30+ MPH WITH ITS WHEELS MELTING AND THEY KNEW IT

#WW3 has already started, says Frog historian

World War III has already begun, according to Emmanuel Todd, who argues that the proxy war taking place in Ukraine is existential for both the United States and Russia. Image
Tood, spoke to Le Figaro, one of the most influential newspapers in the country, saying: “Biden must hurry now. America is fragile, and the resistance of the Russian economy is pushing the U.S. imperial system toward the abyss.”
“It is evident that the conflict, initially a limited territorial war, has evolved into a global economic confrontation between the whole West on one side, and #Russia, backed by #China, on the other. It has become a world war,” Todd said.

What are the odds of a planet being the perfect distance from a sun?

What are the odds that planet has perfect spin to never be too hot or cold?

What are the odds that planet has vegetation?

What are the odds that planet has creatures? Image
What are the odds those creatures are intelligent?

What are the odds that this planet has enough resources to sustain these intelligent creatures?

What are the odds these creatures are so extremely intelligent and have so many resources that they can leave their galaxy?
A light year is 5.88 trillion miles. If the closest galaxy to earth is 25,000 light years away, what are the odds that there is a planet that meets all of these requirements and just so happens to find us?

On Monday February 6th, the national guard used thermite devices to burn a hole into the top and bottom of the remaining cars that were still burning and then drained the Vinyl Chloride, Benzene, HCI and Phosgene and Butyl acrylate into a ditch lined with flares.
5 railcars x estimated 200,000 lb vinyl chloride per = 1,000,000 lb vinyl chloride combusted into phosgene. The combustion products from vinyl chloride monomer gave 27,000 ppm HCl, 58,100 ppm CO2, 9500 ppm CO, 40 ppm phosgene
