Are They Reall Trying To Help Or Hurt

PFAS is everywhere. Especially in our drinking water.

I know. But if, as my city has, gotten rid of plastic straws, for environmental reason, I just wanted to show that these actions are not doing what we're being told. Just like our recycled tap water is blue. It's all for image and the ones being harmed by it are us, the public.

I'm not sure that's it. I think it has more to do with ego and image of the City and grant funding of course. Progressives seem to think that the people's tax funds are their piggy bank for their special interests. They know what they're doing, they just don't care.

Undoubtedly, the Dems have no problem spending taxpayer (or Fed printed) money. They throw money around to get votes and campaign contributions, without regard to any other outcome.
Remember Solyndra and cash for clunkers?

I Solyndra was nothing more than a scam. And cash for clunkers was manipulative. Dems favorite policy tax and spend, for example my city defunded the police, and still refuse to spend over 25% of the City's budget on the police. Even though other cities in the area are spending between 35% and 50% of their budgets on the police.
