Imagine that, buying cheap sludge from a waste plant in an unregulated capitalist state had negative outcomes?
Wow!
The capitalist owner class wants you to blame the victims, like you just did.
I dont pity Texas for making Texas what it has become. I lived there for 25+ years, and those victims endorse the system that crushes them. They would defend Abott and Paxton with violence from the criminal charges they flee so desperately.
Eh, more like accurately highlighted the systematic issue
Yea, they ~~aren't victims they're~~ victims and morons. Momma always said not to buy unregulated sludge and apply it to all your assets without independent testing. Momma knew her shit.
Morons are still victims whether justified or not.
Agreed.
You can't cheap out on your sludge. You don't have to buy the overpriced European sludges that charge for the brand name, but at least find a local artisan that does small-batch sludges.
Putting to the side the huge problem that this practice isn't regulated out of existence yet, it's curious how this keeps happening again and again even after these events have been in the news for a while now. Then it occurred to me that perhaps that news doesn't make it on Fox. 🥺
Probably because a lot of Farmers are historically conservative and adamantly against many forms of government regulation. When situations like this arise, I imagine them throwing up there hands and asking "How can something like this be allowed to happen??"
But the only people who care are those directly affected. The rest are in the not my problem part of conservatives.
Why is the PFAS level so high in the sludge? Is it just from concentration? Or is there a factory dumping something into the wastewater?
There really is a market for everything. Why am I poor!?
