Check Your Brain host Tony Mazur was in the area of East Palestine, Ohio over the weekend, so he dropped by to set the scene of small-town America. Politicians and national media pretended to care about East Palestine for a few days in February, but everyone seems to have moved on to other topics, even though some residents are still seeing effects from the rail disaster. Tony also confirms the political reasoning for why assistance and attention has largely been ignored.
