On PFAS, aside from a tendancy to flip to oppression, what annoys me most about governments is this:
www.theguardian.com
We know PFAS are pervading and destroying nature, have fucked our water supplies, are killing us - yet no government has banned them.
Not even for things where we have easy, already-made alternatives. E.G. Non-stick pans are still being produced. Why? I got rid of ours years ago and bought cast iron and carbon-steel cookware.
The companies who produce teflon-coated pans should be getting their share prices trashed as we ban them, and companies who produce safe cookware should be getting a massive windfall as we switch.
But governments have done dick with even the easy stuff.
That article above - those people have found out they're fucked and can't do anything. We're all affected, but how many of us will find ourselves in a situation like that?
‘Even if we stop drinking we will be exposed’: A French region has banned tap water. Is it a warning for the rest of Europe?
Forever chemicals have polluted the water supply of 60,000 people, threatening human health, wildlife and the wider ecosystem. But activists say this is just the tip of the Pfas iceberg
