Of course. Don’t they want market actors to be responsible for the costs of their actions? Silly me – not when we are talking about businesses.
Cleaning up PFAs to create a safe water supply. Should have been an easy decision for anyone. Possibly a new low for how far the Republicans will stoop?
> Wisconsin Republicans are withholding $125m designated for cleanup of widespread PFAS contamination in drinking water and have said they will only release the funds in exchange for immunity for polluters.
…
> In Campbell, where more than 500 wells have tested positive for PFAS at levels up to thousands of times above federal limits, many suspect high rates of cancer and other serious ailments that have plagued the town’s residents stem from the dangerous chemicals.
If corporations are people how do we shoot them in the face ? /s
