Your chemicals, oil products, etc are all made possible by the highest cancer rates in the USA. And no one cries about THAT on the national news every day.

Racism is alive and well in Amerikkka.

America is an apartheid police state and always will be. :amerikkka:

    It's fine, it's not like chlorine is a halogen, a group of elements that readily interacts with organic molecules.

      its a good thing the people making laws governing these chemicals are required to have chemical education :agony-shivering:

      iirc congresspeople decided vinyl chloride was exempt from certain hazmat protections bc they confused it with PVC (POLYvinyl chloride). anyone who has taken organic chemistry courses could tell you those are different chemicals with VERY different properties

        How many people have taken orgo, though? When I first started out on my nursing education I was upset because I thought a Genchem/orgo/biochem was overkill, but now I'm like ohhhhhhhhhh, this shit is important.

          yeah, and the orgo professors in amerika are usually horrible (ive had 1 bad one and 2 good ones, but the good ones were for higher levels of orgo, and the bad one taught the majority of orgo 1 classes). ppl in the UK take orgo in high school. amerikan education is a joke. and lawmakers not relying on experts for fields they have zero education in is criminal
