The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to review a $40 million verdict against E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co, preserving a legal win for an Ohio man who said toxic "forever chemicals" released by the company into drinking water caused his cancer.

    No, of course not. They know it should be $40 Billion. That could never be permitted.

      40 Billion isn’t enough either, they’ve literally poisoned the entire planet and every human on it with PFAS.

        You know who also poisoned the planet? The plants. Yup. That oxygen shit made the planet flammable. Asshole plants.

        (Just joking; but yeah, fucking forever chemicals)

          The thing is 0² is quite reactive and the bonds are usually pretty easy to break. Compare that to fluorine-carbon bonds and you’ll see why this is an issue.

            Well, oxygen is going nowhere too. So, yeah, I see why it is an issue.
