Not to be confused with Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (3M Company)
Are they the ones who filled my blood with delicious PFAS???
Officially: No.
Unofficially: [REDACTED]
I look forward to the day that corporations lose a lawsuit and openly admit that they poisoned all of humanity.
After that, I expect the corporations to sue all of humanity for harboring their IP. Of course, they’ll win their case in a Texas court and will make multitudes more than they’ll ever have to disburse in payouts
All the accusations just seem to slide right off of them.
They were, Minnesota banned PFAS last year without warning to 3M so it’s a very small consolation prize
Our testicles too!
“…and my balls!”
I live in Michigan and sell to manufacturers. This is terrific news to be in manufacturing sales in Michigan.
I’m not a smart man, but Michigan seems pretty far away from the Ocean
I admire your honesty and capacity for self-reflection. But shipping is huge in the Great Lakes. You can also get to the Atlantic from them.
Fun fact: it’s possible to circumnavigate the eastern half of the US via the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River.
That never occurred to me before and now I want to do it.
Me too, although politics is making me more interested in sailing away from the US at the moment.
Anyway, https://www.greatloop.org/
You can set off from Canada and still do that loop (just saying…)
You can, but you’re still spending the vast majority of your time in US jurisdiction (which is bad if it turns into a fascist dictatorship and you’re trying to flee…).
Oo, oo, lemme drop this lil tidbit in too,

Current Focus: Ohio River (Cincinnati to Louisville) to Canada to Montreal (Quebec) to Nova Scotia to Maine] [Secondarily any of the great lakes or the ohio river; Mississippi still a possible]
A water-based, sustainable effort, with a view to a better quality of life. (tentative statement) disclaimer: almost all of this is planned; the only actuals are a couple of sailboats on the ohio river; there are no requirements for supporting one another
I’m also looking into getting out, but I’d still love to do that. Very cool.
I KNEW it!!!?!
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee…This is the song of my people.
As soon as that first verse comes in, every Canadian automatically leans back and nods their had in satisfaction. It’s a genetic thing (we inject DNA therapy into immigrants at the border for those not born here)
I’ve been on a military sub in Michigan before: https://silversidesmuseum.org/
Give it a couple years.

St Lawrence River and Erie canal, though I’m not sure how functional that one is.

They wanted to use “3M” but it turns out that one’s already taken by a company that makes more red tape than all politicians alive or dead combined.
And the Navy has already abandoned the 3M program, especially for anyone stationed near China
Hell yeah, love to see this stuff :)
I guess we get used to all the announcements being “Biden-Harris” now?
What does it matter, if a civil war breaks out
Are you going to reenact the civil war in your backyard or something?
Not me, but There are many Christian Nationalists ready to. Plenty of 1/6 defendants to attest
You… do know the government has armies, right? And drones and Intelligence and helicopters and machine guns and missiles…
Meal Team Six LARPers coordinating with their shotguns and single-shot rifles have no chance.
While it is comforting to know most of the military would keep their oath, some may not. Much more damage can be done with ARs. While for the most part I don’t believe the Trumpers will do much, some of them will
Let’s hope so. The conservatives need to be put in their place from time to time.
Americans care too much about their cars and the junk they’ve spent decades collecting in their garages to start a civil war.
