I can’t believe the conservative fifth circuit of appeals court overturned the ban on plastic containers contaminated with PFAS. It’s appalling that a company like Inhance can continue to produce these toxic chemicals and put profits over people’s health.

In our current economic landscape, where competition is often non-existent and collusion among corporations is a common practice, it’s no wonder that prices continue to soar. The government has failed to regulate industries effectively, allowing corporations to dictate prices without any consideration for the well-being of the people they serve.… Continue reading
