How can they turn texas into dump site of other states.
Because Texas pretty much behaves like a w.h.o.r.e.

Anything for a buck.

Notice that Simmons (the pimp on this project) now lives in California . . . .

I hope the EPA will eventually force our hand to keep it clean.

I never understood why people so terrified of toxic disposal sites. It's not like they just dump the barrels with waste anywhere they want contaminating the environment. Those places are heavily regulated and the waste is stored underground in reinforced containers surrounded by thick layers of concrete.

There are similar sites in South Carolina, Utah, and Washington, with people living in those areas just fine. At least I haven't heard of anyone being born with a tail or an extra body part.
Actually, many people have and have had leukemia which is blood cancer. Typical disease from radiation exposure. The areas you mentioned have high concentration of leukemia and tumors. You can see families with several member having these diseases. It pisses off anyone.
