OH GEE, there was a train derailment in Raymond, Minnesota
« on: March 30, 2023, 01:22:38 PM »
The talking heads on TV are making a mountain out of a mole hill .
I drive through Raymond every year and have for decades; the track is on the West side of the main road through Raymond, plus, the train was carrying alcohol and corn syrup, so dangerous, at least the babbling heads on TV want you to think so.

Had it happened in Clara City 7 miles down the road, there would have been a danger of the elevator losing a lot stored corn and that is all.
Governor Buerkhalter said they had to check the water and air BS the Sheriff said it would have zero effect on groundwater.

The news (?) services try to inflate every incident into a total disaster. They have to make it bleed so it will lead. Gotta keep the viewership numbers up at all costs.  ;D
