You may be right, but the fact that residents in that town are saying that it hurts to breathe and people are feeling sick and they maintain the stance that the air and water "is fine" it makes me a little doubtful. Not to mention the smoke from the burn carried into PA because there was wind during the burn. And a few day ago wind apparently picked up PM(particulate matter) from the area and carried that into PA. This is something we have to be mindful of. Chemical spills and burns don't go away just like that. People have the right to question when it looks like they are being lied to.

Not all of PA's water is contaminated, but they burned the chemicals sending them into the atmosphere. Winds blowing to the east carried it and can create problems with rain and air quality. I don't believe for a second that the air and water in western and other parts of PA will go unscathed by this. To what degree I'm not sure. I am really curious to see what the tests we run show.

Most people tell you to fight it(at least in state tickets) because there is a chance that if you talk to the cop they will usually lower the ticket. Depending on the ticket obviously. You don't ever really beat a ticket. At least that's been my experience with being told to fight a ticket.

My mom used to work for an in home nursing agency called Angels on Call I believe. She basically went to someone's house for a few hours a day a couple times a week. I forget if she went 2 or 3. But that may be a good place to look. I looked on their website and the nearest office would be in Scranton.

Unless I looked at it wrong the linked I posted is saying that PA has the third largest rural population per capita. Not by numbers. I could have interpreted it wrong. I was only really trying to make a point that per capita PA's residents are more "rural" than other states people think of as more rural.

Yea it wasn't what I was getting at. This is what I was looking for. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://stategovernment.pasenategop.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/30/2021/05/CRP-Rural-Demographics-May-2021.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwj368bbod78AhUHhYkEHdwIDp0QFnoECA0QBg&usg=AOvVaw2aMzMO5GZLXy-gadKjx2Gj

Pennsylvania has the 3rd highest rural population per capita. PA gets hella rural when you get out of the southeast.

Something I forgot to add was accent. I've been told by a doctor in Maine and my gf that they thought I was from the south because of my accent. Certain parts of PA definitely have what I would call an "accent lite." It's there, but other people definitely have it thicker.
