    It’d be helpful to learn more details about this independent groundwater study that Meta initiated, because its odd that this woman should be seeing residue in her water. I hope we learn more soon.

    How could it be “independent” when it’s commissioned by a party with a giant vested interest in this study finding them not liable?

      That’s not precisely true. They have a vested interest in determining if they are likely to be found liable. A corpo would rather know about the liability so they could start bribing the appropriate officials make strategic campaign donations and quietly make the problem go away before it becomes more of a press problem.

      Now, whether or not their press releases would ever admit to the liability being present? Lmao no.
