Good thing Dow Chemical and 3M have very deep pockets.

Sue them into oblivion for poisoning this planet.

@[email protected] What about PEX piping? When they now put use it as how you pipe a home?

@[email protected] Maybe we've been drinking them all along? I mean, before industrialization? Maybe we're supposed to drink them? 🤔

I for one, am not worried. #godsgotthis #mortality #thisisfine
