The chemical spill and train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio is a much bigger deal than most people think.
The rail company, Norfolk Southern, is trying to convince residents to take $1k each as "inconvenience" payments.
Railroad companies never willingly pay ANY money to ANYONE.
If they're willing to pay that much up front, it's probably very bad.
@mfreeman @forpeterssake two different time points. The $25k payout they offered in general is separate from the $1k checks offered directly to individuals.
