Trump to visit Mt Rushmore. Plenty of fireworks will Increase the fire danger because of the dry conditions. Spike in virus cases because social distancing and masks are not required. Sounds like the usual irresponsible “it’s all about me” Trump visit. I hope they have the forests raked.
I suppose the irony is completely lost on them that “Make America Great Again” says in no uncertain terms that it’s not great now. Even if we were to buy into the myth that the national condition in 2016 were merely adequate, wouldn’t that be a whole lot better than the shitshow we’ve got now?
Eleven years of fireworks there had left dangerous levels of perchlorate used to oxidize pyrotechical chemicals in ground and surface water. It impacts the thyroid gland and fetal/infant brains
First article dismisses danger of having “one drink” by attendees without consideration of long term residents/wildlife.
