175 - No Stupid Questions

Ironweeds

We return to two stories from last week: the Ohio train derailment and the UAPs shot down by NORAD. The former is a toxic disaster and the latter is bad news for nerds who like keeping track of balloons. Troy’s homes are full of lead pipes and the city has sat on federal funds to fix the problem. Chris Churchill gets sassy at Mayor Madden. And Minnesota has voted in universal meals for all students!
