"Few municipal wastewater treatment systems can effectively remove or destroy 1,4-dioxane, so when cleaning products go down the drain, the chemical flows into waterways. Drinking-water providers similarly struggle to eliminate 1,4-dioxane." #PoisonedPlanet #PublicHealth

David Lynch passes away at 78 after a battle with emphysema. He had stated in 2024 that he could no longer leave his home due to the high risk of Covid. If more people would mask up, we wouldn’t have to isolate. “You do you” policies leave people like Lynch with no choice but to “just stay home”

Nigel Farage's latest register of MPs' interests shows he was in the US *again* in December, and was paid *£189,000* for four hours work promoting a gold bullion dealer.

A teeny weeny 2% tax on Britain’s super rich would raise £24 billion. Think of all the good we could with a sum like that - and it would only ever so slightly make the tax system more fair - plenty of room for improvement after that.

There are more than 10m children in school in the UK…but, per Times, 3,000 might move to state sector because of VAT rise…so Whitehall is “braced” 😲😲😲 Says a lot about UK media bubble, the way this story is reported. You pay VAT on luxuries. Private schooling is that.

#Privatisation - a few profit and the rest of us pay. Why oh why will Sir Keir Starmer's government not take the obvious step and bring water companies back into public hands, to be run for public good? As @greenparty.org.uk has long demanded? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
