Headline is not exactly wrong, but if you read the article, hand and dish soap is not recommended because they’re not formulated as pesticides and efficacy can be hit or miss.

Thanks for the downvotes. Good to see that Lemmy doesn’t care about having reasonable conversations.

I’ll show myself out.

Undocumented visitor, so I’m assuming no visa. Was working illegally and not paying taxes.

Still received treatment instead of being deported. I feel that’s fair that he has to pay for the treatment.

No. The lump sum payment option is $600 million-ish. You would only get the $1.3 billion (pre-tax) if you take the annuity option.

Sir, this is the internet. Morons will still complain about broken things in public forums even if you make them click through multiple dialogue boxes and popups with warnings in flashing text.

Crazy how many up votes this article has. It’s like everyone is just agreeing with the headline without even bothering to check.

If it were a Google product, this prediction would be a solid bet.

We already tax profits from pharmaceutical companies and invest in research into these exact things. Which sounds like exactly what you want? They’re even installing new waste treatment equipment to help solve the problem in Montreal.

You make it sound like it’s trivial to invent new drugs that are more biodegradable to replace existing ones, but it really really isn’t.

Wtf are “biodegradable meds”?

It’s more like we need to spend money figuring out better ways to treat sewage to remove substances of concern. That includes medicine but also stuff like PFAS and microplastics.

So biological facts are now cringe?

The summary misses that the baseline seems to be around 7.5% pre-pandemic. So we have almost 3x the number of people working from home now versus before.
