Good thing they defunded all the agencies capable of enforcing clean water regulations, then.

(neologism, politics) A small group of ultrawealthy men who exert inordinate control or influence within a political structure, particularly while espousing views regarded as anti-democratic, technofascist, and masculinist.
The shit is hitting the fan at such a high rate that it can be difficult to keep up. So this is a place to share such news.

And consumer protection agencies. But they're saving money, or some shit. Not you personally though, if you aren't already rich, your taxes are actually going to increase... Even though the services they paid for have been eliminated...
Your taxes and your medical costs. Freedom, motherfuckers!
And let me guess, nothing will happen to said company now, will it?
They've already scrambled their letter salad name and rented a different shell mailing address office.
Almost every hose spigot I found leaches lead. I had to order off a specialty website and even then half the hose bibs I got said not for potable water. WTF!!! How do I run water into my RV, or my Garden?
Bluetooth /s
If you do a slow drip for a month, the lead will go away from the quality ones because a layer builds up over the metal
This is weird to me. When we bought our house 10-years ago we were volunteering at Habitat for Humanity. (Because that's how we got a mortgage.) At the time our manager made us trash any donated faucets because we weren't qualified to gauge if they met the new lead content rules. (Fuck 'em. I still swiped a few sweet faucets for the house.)
And yet, 10-years later, you can still buy out-of-spec faucets? Unreal.
It might just be drop shippers who dump cheaply made Ali express stuff into Amazon marketplace. Amazon has no QA and pretends not to know, yet it just allows everything to be sold there.
People just won't learn. This stuff is so cheap for a reason.
