There is no one who wins in this this game. Not even the companies making the chemicals, because their CEOs and shareholders have to eat and drink too 🤦♀️
"The agency also announced plans to relax a rule requiring companies to report all products containing PFAS and has proposed weakening drinking water standards for the chemicals."
The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food. The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of PFAS — also known as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

Outlets reporting on the monthly numbers should also include these graphics to show more context, because our job growth isn't growing.

Paradox of automation
edit
The paradox of automation says that the more efficient the automated system, the more crucial the human contribution of the operators. Humans are less involved, but their involvement becomes more critical. Lisanne Bainbridge, a cognitive psychologist, identified these issues notably in her widely cited paper "Ironies of Automation."[49] If an automated system has an error, it will multiply that error until it is fixed or shut down. This is where human operators come in.[50] A fatal example of this was Air France Flight 447, where a failure of automation put the pilots into a manual situation they were not prepared for.[51]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:byjjq67p7iau6qufzjmizpbn/bafkreie4ootzzyowpylsxjg7gxsp63iujxh4qceuuxxhwm63yrm2qffa4e@jpeg)
