The more we discover, the worse it gets. Now we learn the water companies wrote the guidance ensuring sewage sludge is not tested for the vast majority of contaminants before being spread on farmland. They gave themselves a free licence to dump hazardous waste. 🧵

More than 880,000 workers will get a raise this summer due to state minimum wage increases.
Anyone upset about this should consider the following:
If the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.
