minus-squareBraveSirZaphodlinkfedilink3•1 year agoPlus side, these are factors that can be managed! Even if it’s not exactly fun to.
minus-square@CoreidanlinkEnglish-5•1 year agoAh yes. Blame poor people instead of the corporations polluting our natural world. Typical.
minus-squareBraveSirZaphodlinkfedilink6•edit-21 year agoWell, if that’s what the medical data actually points to, while I don’t think blame is really a useful concept, that would be the correct conclusion.
