Fuck Lee Zeldin (and RFK jr) in his dumb fucking face. I worked on one of these projects, and for them to just get rid of some of these limits is blood boiling. I will never forgive anyone associated with MAGA, which includes some family unfortunately. They have destroyed society, and this is just another nail in the coffin, because fuck anyone trying to be healthy, or have a baby, or not get cancer right?
I guarantee this was because some chemical companies bribed Trump and the regime to remove the limits because it was eating into their bottom line.
Here’s the rub of it: you know what the issue is, and where the chemicals are likely to be found and you can make sure your friends and that family which you want to protect can also know what to avoid. As much of it as you can.
PFOAs are all in the water where I live, a consequence of having a SAC air base (now decomissioned) in the next town over and for most of the time it was open, there was NO environmental concerns for the shit that got dumped in the ground. My father, who was an airman in 1962 and stationed at said former base, often was tasked with doing the dumping. (he always told me to be mindful of the water when I moved here in my 20’s) People ask me why I drive (quite a distance) twice a year to go get almost 100 gallons of fresh spring water form a VERY isolated source. The water where I live is unpalatable and is heavily treated. Often stinks like a municipal pool. On those days, I will opt for a PTA bath instead of a hot steamy shower. Testing of the city’s main well a dozen years ago revealed what I’d been warned of decades prior… (ofc it’s the most contaminated one in the area…)
At this point, I am firmly convinced that this is 100% a move by the Trumpists and their monied enablers to gin up as much disease in the population as possible. There is no one single sector of the economy as large as the Medical Industrial Complex and it’s driven by the rapacious maw of greed and nothing else.
YOU BET that the current administration sees the public as nothing more than a resource to be mined of all it’s capital and then left to die. After all Trump famously “loves” the poorly educated, and to double down on that, he’s also stated that “Smart people don’t like me…” (Gee… ya’ think?)
There are enough poorly educated so they can feed for decades… and they will. This is where they start in on it seriously.
Time for the smart people to be stepping and fetching like never before.
Take care of yourself and your loved ones.
PFAS compounds have been detected in literally the most remote places on Earth. Are you sure your spring water is isolated enough?
Either way, reverse osmosis (RO) filters remove virtually all the PFAS from water. I’m not discouraging you from getting 100 gallons of spring water from a VERY isolated source, just wanted to mention that there are possibly other options for those of us who don’t have the ability to get 100 gallons of spring water from a VERY isolated source.
It is in a very remote corner of the Northeast Kingdom that is far enough away from industrial centers that dumping wasn’t cost efficient. I actually lived near one of the OG superfund sites in New England, and recall the tanker trucks bombing up and down the road past my house - so when it all broke loose in the late 70’s (and all hell locally DID break loose - Beedee Road Landfill - recieved decades worth of industrial waste from two companies - Davison Rubber and Hooker Chemicals.) we were all… “ahhh, that’s what all that was about…” Then I moved in with different relatives, but have been hyper aware of where in the northeast - to avoid the water from. (Do NOT drink Poland Spring water.) I will always ask the older people who knew what factories and mills were where and what they made.
So dumb
More corrupt than dumb. The Supreme Court legalized “gratuities” for public officials so now a ton of Republicans are out to collect as many as they can.
So this is why Trump wants to end taxes on tips!
Oblig. Veritaseum on this subject
Actually doing good stuff is done by people government just takes credit not does good things and then its time to do bad things that’s what actually gets them hard they love bad things go team cancer
