DuPont To Be Exposed For The Environmental Criminals That They Are. Movie and book will detail how they poisoned West Virginia’s waters and fought all attempts to be held accountable. And how one heroic attorney brought them to justice of a sort. An excerpt:
“Dark Waters” starring Mark Ruffalo and Anne Hathaway will arrive in theaters Nov. 22, telling the tale of an attorney who fought DuPont and Chemours over a toxic chemical leak in West Virginia.
DuPont and Chemours paid $671 million to settle more than 3,500 lawsuits that claimed they were to blame for the leak of perfluorooctanoic acid, also known as PFOA or C-8, from a plant in Parkersburg. Both companies denied wrongdoing.
Afghanistan Peace Talks Collapse. Pompeo vs. Bolton, with the Dolt-In-Chief clueless as always. (Bolton/Dolt-In, interior rhyming as I exercise my inner Sondheim.)
Trump Tariffs To Cost Each US Household $2K By 2020. Seriously, there’s no way that he can get reelected. Get used to it, and nominate the candidate who can do the most good.
Mississippi Beaches Become A Dead Zone. Why it’s happening, and what isn’t being done. The new normal? BTW, the cause reminds me a bit of what’s going on in…Sussex County.
Is Sara Nelson The Future Of American Labor? I think she could definitely help to reinvigorate the labor movement:
“What Sara Nelson offers is a different kind of labor movement,” said Erik Loomis, a labor historian at the University of Rhode Island and the author of A History of America in 10 Strikes. “One that is, for the first time in a long time, charismatic and inspiring and one that speaks not only to current labor union members but also to the vast majority of the American working class that doesn’t belong to a union, or can’t have a union, or where it’s really difficult to form a union.”
Might as well end on a rare optimistic note.
