1. PMing me is almost certainly a bad idea. 2. I'm here to signal-boost, primarily. 3. If you wanna argue with me, I probably won't, as I have stuff I should be doing, but I'll happily block you, so I don't have to worry about it later, either.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
