- More Perfect Union, 2024, (15 mins). 🥡Microplastics are everywhere - in our waterways and in our bodies. But the corporations responsible are facing no consequences - and making billions. Our brains and our blood now contain microplastics and it's time for the perpetrators to face consequences. [Monsanto now operates under the Bayer name].

- PFAS CHEMICALS, 'Forever Chemicals,' Teflon. EWG/Environmental Working Group, The PFAS forever chemicals in 99% of Americans 🍟
In 1946, DuPont introduced Teflon to the world, changing millions of peoples lives and polluting their bodies. Today, the family of compounds including Teflon, commonly called PFAS, is found not only in pots and pans but also in the blood of people around the world, including 99% of Americans. PFAS chemicals pollute water, do not break down, and remain in the environment and people for decades. Some scientists call them forever chemicals."

... and corporatists in general, know full well that they are perpetrating unspeakable evil, they just don't care. Their fallback excuse is, "Our first obligation is to our shareholders." I would say, no, your first obligation is to be a decent human being, a simple task at which you have failed miserably.
