On 3 February, a Norfolk Southern freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. The train was carrying 11 harmful chemicals including  vinyl chloride, butyl acrylate, benzene, ethyl hexyl acrylate and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether.  Although these chemicals are known to have detrimental, and sometimes deadly, effects to one's health no one knows what effects they have once they are burned and become a gas as was the case in Palestine. Yet the President and VP have not been there to meet with the residents of this area or give any major announcements and it took the Transportation Secretary a couple of weeks to arrive.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tellmewhatyoureallythink/support

Today's food for thought - would love your thoughts as well :) Regardless if one agrees with former Governor Mario Cuomo's politics or not, it is worth mentioning that he had done much in his life to be worthy of a bridge or a street to be named after him.  Just as anyone of note, who has worked to leave a positive imprint on our State is worthy of such naming.  But is the renaming of the Tappan Zee Bridge to be the Mario Cuomo Bridge the right fit?  Listen to the podcast as I and Tommy chat about our own feelings on the matter.  We would love to have you leave comments or write us at pr@informedny.com to request to be a guest. #tappanzeebridge #politics #NY --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tellmewhatyoureallythink/support

All of us know where we were when the Towers were hit. I had friends and co-workers at the World Trade Center that thankfully made it out alive. One co-worker in particular, was a doctor, who stayed to help those injured and in need.  He was not alone. Through tragedy and chaos the world came together to help in whatever way they could. And I, like all other Americans, can not thank those enough for their help during our time of need. But is this bill that AOC introduced the right way to thank those who helped. It is designed to give illegal aliens who helped after 9/11 full citizenship. But it has some open language in it that can create problems.  Listen to the podcast and then let me know what you think. #aliens #undocumentedworkers #September11 #worldtradecenter #bill #legislation #AOC --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tellmewhatyoureallythink/support

My heart goes out to everyone in need of an organ transplant.  I have many friends who have been fortunate enough to receive one.  But there is a shortage and doctors and lawmakers and organizations have to make tough choices on who receives one and where someone sits on the waiting list.  But do things such as learning disability and COVID vaccine status determine your ranking on this list.  Listen to find out and then comment. #organ #organtransplant #heart #lungs #kidney #medical #hospital #government #doctors  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tellmewhatyoureallythink/support

The attack at the Pelosi home was a horrific event that can never be tolerated.  Sadly this event is not an isolated one as recent history shows other attacks or potential for attacks on the person or name of those in elected office, regardless of their political affiliation. In this episode I ask for prayers to be extended to everyone who has suffered injury to their person or their name as well as giving a broad stroke blueprint on how America can pull itself out of this downward spiral of violence toward one another. #pelosi #government #stoptheviolence #america #civility #legislation #tolerance #respect #Tedcruz --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tellmewhatyoureallythink/support

Our children deserve the best life can offer and yet we as a society are failing them.   Stats from the OCFS state office reports on incidents of abuse or neglect in foster care which is way above the national average.  And every state in America reflects some level of abuse in foster care.  This should never happen.  What can be done through legislation that can change these horrifying stats.  (Primary source: https://ocfs.ny.gov/connect/assets/reports/cfsr-improvement/Incidence-in-Foster-Care-2002.pdf) #podcast #fostercare #abuse #neglect #savethechildren #America #NYS --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tellmewhatyoureallythink/support
