So we’re putting arsenic, glyphosate (Roundup,) PFAS, and other contaminents into our soil and drinking water, while cutting back on public health services. We do this knowing how PFAS has killed our military people. And 49% of elected federal office holders don’t want Affordable Care Act. We need a workforce, yet we kill them with poison.

Sounds like a plan.

Step one is for Freedhoff to be fired for violation of Whisleblower rules and laws, if true of course (and not waste time doing it). 2nd would be for those two women mentioned in the article to be fired for violations of conflict of interest and whistleblower rules and laws.

3rd, big team meeting to tell the workforce we’re here to make sure we aren’t allowing the people of this country to be poisoned and harmed so that corporations can make MORE money, blood money from the American People.
