The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Trump's EPA has approved 3 new pesticides with forever chemicals that will be used on food."

"The controversial approvals come just days after the Supreme Court sided with Bayer and the Trump administration in limiting Americans’ ability to sue pesticide companies for harms linked to pesticides."

"Trump’s reckless push to ignore science and embrace these extremely harmful, long-lasting pesticides ensures his legacy won’t be the many monuments he’s built to
himself but the many millions of people his shortsighted polices will sicken and prematurely kill."

"Watchdog groups emphasize that releasing these chemicals into the food supply is a forever decision. Because PFAS accumulate in human tissue and the environment,
critics highlight their links to liver damage, immune system degradation, birth defects, and various cancers. They also warn that these pesticides can degrade into
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a pervasive and highly mobile environmental contaminant."
