The Ohio River Valley: America’s Gateway to the West 

I thought our Port of Houston was bad? The Ohio River catches on fire! We can both blame on powerful elites with too much wealth?

From Ohio. We collect EPA super fund disasters like infinity stones. Nuclear ✅. Chemical ✅. Biohazard ✅. Our rivers CATCH FIRE. Eerie is the worst lake to eat from

@@kaiyote7924 But wait, all the media that are controlled by the government has been telling us since the 1970s. That Lake areas cleaner than it ever was stop trusting. Politicians start trusting State malicious. And let's take control of our country because the people controlling us are all billionaires who want to control our feed our thought. Our lives we have a right, as human means to existbut we have the right. As Americans to thriveit's time to stop existing and worrying about how to pay the mortgage, it's time to take our country back. It's time to take our communities back. It's time to tell Washington they don't control us anymore. We have our own thoughts. You don't need to monter them. You just need to listen to us. Everybody talks but everybody wants to be heard

You can sit on your high horse all youd like but that unregulated business model is why America was able to grow so fast. I'm not saying we shouldn't fix it now, but that's a stance from a position of privilege. We've become the world's main superpower already and can now afford to regulate.

​​@@iangoodall849so you want to shit on your air, land and water ? Where you boy?

@@iangoodall849 lol, no. Regulations and corporate taxation is what made America grow economically in the past. Deregulation started by Reagan is killing your country, and it's sad you can't see it.

How do you feel about it being pronounced like the last name of Apollo 13 astronaut James Lovell?

I love Louis-Ville, Great city!!! Hi from Lexington!

S Indiana native here and I had to laugh at the pronunciation as well. With as many fish advisories as their are for public waters it floors me that people still eat the fish they have caught. I think the only fishni would eat if caught would be the blasted shifty invasive Carp just to get rid of the damned things.

hey fellow native to Louisville! o7 And yeah, kinda gotta lol at how nasty the river is. it definitely deserves better, alas.

I was coming to comment how you can tell people aren’t from the area with how they pronounce Louisville. Hoosier born and raised.

The Cuahoaga River too

That’s the Cuyahoga river in Cleveland burnt for three days a couple of times when I was a kid

Thank you! Came looking for those of us whose ears were assaulted.

I have been a Geographics stan since the very beginning and will stay that way but I also came here to say this. Bostonian turned Yinzer here and my ears felt VERY VERY not okay hearing that pronunciation, but that’s alright because we are here to help with that. Love the channel! ❤️❤️

Same. 🥺

About time to quit paving over paradise

Red state, last I looked, not going to happen, as they will refuse to spend the money, and pocket any tendered. Best wishes.

Same here I blame a good portion of it from the plants in Parkersburg.

@@carlthor91truth a lot of talk or actually no talk at all b/c it isn’t a high priority

W comment

10/10

As a native Cave-in-Rocker, this is true.

I can also confirm that Ohio is in very awful shape.. as growing up here and still here, it's not a great place. Their is very little good industry to get a decent paying job unless you work in the Healthcare industry... That's pretty much the only jobs that are outside of big cities. Most of the big cities as well are turning into crime riddled, gang ran trash dumps. Cleveland is worse than Detroit, Cincinnati is getting very bad as well and Columbus is on the decline. Then you have counties like Pike and Vinton that are extremely poor and most homes way out in the stix of those county's don't even have running water. You're very right about most of the small towns looking like they had been through a war. Ohio has really taken a severe punch to the gut. They also are stripping funds from all the state parks, so now even are beautiful state parks are becoming trashy bc locals and out of state tourists throw trash and whatnot everywhere. It's sad😢

@@backwoodsjunkie08 that's terrible, the rest stops along the way were very nicely maintained- very sad to hear about park funding being cut.

@@backwoodsjunkie08 Shut up! I live in northeast ohio and its actually improving it was worse in the 1980s

Yeah, it's what some would call "Progress", but I still don't see it!

He failed in his attempt at pronouncing Monongahela, however.

​@@Claytone-Records To be fair, anyone outside of the area probably would too. I only know because my dad lived in Pittsburgh for most of my life

They base it on scientific studies. Tons of waterways in the US are disgusting, this is just the worst one.

That actually wasn’t Lake Erie it was the Cuyahoga River

Not the Canadian side, your filthy side yes

​@@twinsanitydad yep in ohio lol

Try living here... Even people from Louisville and Southern Indiana say that swimming in the Ohio River is akin to swimming in nuclear waste. The pollution is so bad the water is an almost permanent murky brown. Search and rescue divers have such a hard time because of how bad it is

@@Shizznad I do live in Ohio

@@Tokuijin I am sorry 😞

I wish I had the time, but I do a lot behind the scenes.

@@geographicstravel that’s a shame . Biographics and top tenz could really use you.

More tangents… never enough.

Time for a rewatch.

Wheeling, Steubenville, Wellsburg area?

@@TheMadTube close, I grew up in Beaver county.

Marshall County, WV

You’re on a boat?

@@darthsilversith667 Nuclear sub. Shhhhhhhhh.

@@DerptyDerptyDUM In the Ohio!? Cool 😎

Tell it to the original author.

He left months ago. How have you not noticed?

I'm Batman.

Simon left of his own will. He is not coming back.

He left months ago. How have you not noticed?

​@@resileaf9501 we haven't been watching. Still trying to detox from the Simon overdosing.

🙄

Ahh, yes. Whatsboutism. 😂

You do realize there is such a thing as regional differences in pronunciation in the US, right?

@geographicstravel yeah, and I'm from the south and you're mispronouncing Mobile and Louisville.

Pretty silly to get your news from Shapiro. 😂

​@@WouldntULikeToKnow.Pretty silly you'd rather insult someone on the Internet over your own bias rather than accept a fact.

@@WouldntULikeToKnow. I never said that their reporting was correct or unbiased. The significance of Walsh and Shapiro is their influence over conversative thought. If they are being critical of Buttigieg's handling and since Buttigieg is from a party in general opposition to their bias, then you can reason that the conservatives are more likely to over exaggerate the significance of the Palestine derailment instead of understating it. Hence, for the author to claim that the conservatives are under reporting the impact of the derailment without any supporting evidence, is a shaky argument because it reduces the conservative position to virtual idiocrasy. When your opponent messes up, you don't cover for them. If the conservatives are under reporting the significance of the event, then they are effectively covering for their opponents. That's why I find the author's argument shaky at best and allegedly fraudulent at worst.

Wrong. If conservatives cared at all they would be fighting for regulations to pretend these train accidents from continuing to happen. They have done literally nothing but fight attempts at regulation of trains with dangerous chemicals and have fought against the cleaning of the Ohio river time and time again. There are 49 Republicans in the Senate, if they cared so much about train derailments and safety, why are only 7 in support of a bill designed to enact safety measures and prevent future crashes? 24 Republican-run states have recently sued the EPA after measures were put in place regarding the pollution of rivers, because they care more about "economic growth" than about the facts that some of the rivers are literally able to CATCH FIRE! But I am sorry if my facts interfere with your feelings. No I am not.

Shhh... don't ruin their fantasy.... conservative = bad.

Your cult leader removed the safety requirement to keep this from happening only because president Obama mandated it. Fox propaganda channel will never tell you though. You get what you vote for.

Biden is a right winger in disguise and everyone *actually* left of center was taking about it

Yeah, i heard that and thought, "Gaslighting much?"

Try less Alex Jones for your news and opinion. You’re about 1-1/2 steps from. “Great Replacement theory”…

@@_derpderp Oh really? What is your theory on why millions of foreign nationals are being deliberately allowed into the country? Don't tell me ... we just don't have enough judges? Ya right.

Don't forget your tinfoil hat.
