Red flags are often ignored. Here in Seattle, SPD hired Kevin Dave who was fired from the Albuquerque department for reckless driving and drinking while driving and running from the police. A couple years after joining SPD, he thought it was a good idea to go 75 mph in a 25 mph zone with no siren on (lights were on) to get to an OD call. He ran over Jaahnavi Kandula and killed her while she was crossing an intersection. He still works at the SPD and is refusing to pay the $5000 fine he got.
That honestly would not surprise me if he did allow lead. He thinks asbestos is 100% safe and is only being removed because the mob lobbied for it to get the construction contracts.
And let's not forget that Reagan wanted to reverse banning the use of lead and had a study commissioned to show how much money it would save the economy. The person writing the report decided to add in the massive negative health and societal consequences of removing the ban which showed a huge cost to the economy by removing the ban.
I feel like the rest of the quote provides a bit of context:
The bad guys won in WWII. There were no 'good guys' in that war.
Not sure that I would call the US which was still practicing eugenics and had a large portion of the country under Jim Crow laws. Considering that White is black, I could understand him not seeing the US as good guys. The Soviet Union had a very recent genocide of their own. The UK also had some pretty abhorrent practices in Bangladesh that led to millions of deaths.
However, in comparison to the fucking Nazis, still going to say there was a more moral side.
Why kill officers of a country that is helping the invasion of your country? Are you serious? It's not like they sent the missile all the way over to North Korea.
Unless rabies mutates to become airborne, a pandemic killing everyone is darn near impossible. So it will probably be using thermonuclear warheads on climate change induced hurricanes.
Slightly less click baity than WatchMojo. I enjoy their presenters and I get a rundown of lesser known movies. I have watched a few WatchMojo videos and the presenters seem a bit stale.
We should tax the oil companies more to pay for it since density of microplastics in gonads is related to infertility, in dogs at least but there is no reason to think it would be different for humans.
I prefer just getting a 1 gallon jug. Much less plastic and should do fine in those "just in case" times. Multiple plastic bottles is going to have a much higher concentration of leached chemicals. Although water is generally not much of a concern in this part of the northwest so just keeping a little bit is generally fine.
The people I see are generally buying a couple cases are definitely doing it for personal use. They usually have their kids with them so it's likely not for a business.
Plastic water bottles are the number one litter that I find when picking up garbage in the neighborhood. I also see many crushed pretty small vertically which sends odd to me. Why crush it if you are going to toss it? And why crush it the more difficult way? Is it possibly a drug use thing?
The interviewer came out and said the media was lying about what she said. She never mentioned the AG's religion or even implied it. The article did mention that the AG was Jewish at one point but didn't imply a connection.
Again, that is not really an issue here in Washington.
Filtered pitchers are not very expensive. Even buying actual brand named Brita filters at $15 per filter yields you 120 gallons of filtered water. That's 12.5¢/gallon. Costco water here is $7.80 for 40 half liter bottles or 39¢/liter. Normalizing that is $1.47/gallon. Costco bottled water is significantly more expensive.
I'm fine with Coke and Pepsi keeping their shrinkflation.
