Thank you for keeping the conversation alive, Erin. It’s maddening. I do wish the shower head company listed a specifications data sheet on which chemicals are filtered out. The website doesn’t mention that it filters pfas or chlorination byproduct chemicals, so it makes me weary. Perhaps shower filters have little oversight, too and that’s why they don’t report which “other chemicals” they filter. I do appreciate that they are trying to fill the information gap.
WOMEN, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT EVERY WOMAN WHO IS IN MAKEUP, WEARING ARTIFICIAL NAILS, SOME SPECIAL CLOTHES IS ESSENTIALLY NOT A HUMAN BUT A DOLL = SOMETHING THAT WAS CREATED BY MEN, THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING THAT WE WILL NOW PRESS MEN ON HOW THEY SHOULD LOOK, HOW THEY SHOULD SHAVE THEIR LEGS AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY FAIR BECAUSE THEY HAVE INVENTED OUR IMAGE = IMAGE OF FEMINITY FOR THE LAST 26 THOUSAND YEARS, THEY CREATED US LIKE THIS AND THAT'S WHY ACTUALLY TODAY WE HAVE THESE SEX DOLLS OR ROBOTS BECAUSE THAT'S ESSENTIALLY WHAT NICKI MINAJ LOOKS LIKE, HAVE YOU SEEN A NORMAL WOMAN?! A NORMAL WOMAN IS NOT IN MAKEUP!! A NORMAL WOMAN DOES NOT HAVE ARTIFICIAL NAILS!! A NORMAL WOMAN DOES NOT WEAR HIGH HEELS, A NORMAL WOMAN DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A W**** AND DOES NOT LOOK LIKE FROM A BROTHEL!!! UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND THIS, FUCK ANY *FEMINISM*!!!
FEMINISM WILL DIE IF YOU DONT MANAGE FEMALE SEXUAL RETARDATION AKA EXPRESSION!!!
A few years ago, I saw a publication for Georgia (I think there might have been for each state but I certainly remember looking up our region) that stated the contaminants. At the time I subscribed to a news posting from, I think, the nature conservancy. I did not really need to ask, because in the nearby town, the water smells of bleach, and in 2 other ones, it doesn't smell, but there is so much farming around, and spraying of course, that it is impossible their water is clean. I am on a well myself and only use well water when it has rained sufficiently. Very few farming around, but quite some iron. In the last 2 years I have been using bottled water, but most of it is in plastic bottles, and 'purified', whatever that means! I prefer spring water but read years ago, that all water in the US is contaminated. They advised to buy Fiji water, which is very expensive if you drink as much as I do LOL
I am soooo tired of hearing the U.S. described as "the wealthiest nation in the world". You can't borrow yourself into prosperity, but that's exactly what we've done. Foreign nations own us because we are hundreds of trillions into debt to them through the sale of treasury bonds to finance our "wealthy" life style. I'm retired, have a comfortable, livable income, I can afford what I like to do and am healthy enough to do it, and NO debt - no car payment, no mortgage, a credit card balance that I pay off every month. Now that's wealth, and the peace of mind that debtors lack - and that includes the vast majority of the country.
And because we are called that, most people outside of the US think that everyone is wealthy! It took me years to convince my overseas family in Europe that there are lots of poor and very poor Americans, that there is a small margin that is not one or other way indebted, and that the few, may be 1 to 5%, have practically all the wealth and call America the wealthiest nation. If you see the debt, it sounds more like 'the most indebted nation' to me. Luckily I am like you in a situation that lets me live a decent life, and am glad to know several in that position.
They snuffed out dissent in the 60s and 70s, sold the left over humans greed and easy money (everybody get credit cards and white people get mortgages!) they splurge and develop all sorts of addictions (bread a circus baby) in the 90s, spend the early 2000s realizing they are actually broke, in debt, and locked into the system of modern slavery...any all of a sudden we all have mental health issues and over 70% of Americans are taking prescriptions medication on a daily basis...free fall the past 15 years, the empire gobbles up as much as possible and attempt to make us all believe the only hope is turning over our Bill of Rights to the 1% sugar daddies/mommas.

There was a article last year about several cases of a brain parasite that people got from using tap water in their Neti pot and the article was bashing the victims of a brain parasite for not using distilled water.. my reaction was why the hell are there parasites in our drinking water? That should have been the story!
I had no idea my own state is on the list! I knew about some of the others, but my state is on the west coast and has many snow capped mountains in the winter? I assumed it was okay.
This article is very enlightening.
It is, and always has been, unsettling to know that people in the US don’t either have safe water or water at all. It should be the case that it is a given that our water is clear, clean and safe nationwide.
I don’t know what they do to their water in Nova Scotia, Canada, but they have the best water I’ve ever tasted. No matter where I was, it was consistently amazing.
How can we convince our government to fix our infrastructure, of which water is a very important part, if they are focused on war, world domination, and helping the capitalist class extract as much wealth from our comunitues as they can simply because their donors are the ones doing the extraction?
Thank you for this. In AZ every year, the talking heads on the nightly news will talk about how there is chromium-6 in the drinking water and no journalism to find out why and what they are doing about it.
We were notified by our local water department that our water contains PFAS. They’re recommending people use filtration systems for drinking water if they’re concerned about it, until the new removal facility can be completed in 2028 despite the fact that they say the levels are low.
yes, the delays are mostly funding issues for local water departments. About half of all drinking water systems across the country have PFAS and have until 2029 to figure out a solution.

Thank you for this. Everyone needs to understand “they” don’t “care” about “us”.

It's always best to match your filters with the known chemicals in your water as best you can!

If only we had a government that wasn’t stealing from us, and destroying all norms, not that it was perfect before, but there was some oversight.
We all want to know.

Thank you for this. In AZ every year, the talking heads on the nightly news will talk about how there is chromium-6 in the drinking water and no journalism to find out why and what they are doing about it.
I highly recommend people take your shower heads off and soak them in a toilet bowl cleaner to remove buildup.
Showerheads can accumulate bacteria and biofilms over time, which may include harmful microbes like mycobacteria and Legionella.
Soaking them in a toilet bowl cleaner allows the breakdown of these potentially harmful microbes and bacteria!
Thank you Erin
I could tell the difference over the years. Sadly, I, too thought there was oversight and something would be done. How very wrong I was.
Maybe so we don’t want to take showers and that’ll leave more water for a1 companies to use ?

Maybe our government should stop funding other countries and focus on its own citizens?!? 😡
