Good. They have permanently poisoned many groundwater systems around Australia with PFAs from fire-fighting foam at training bases, fire stations, airports, army/navy locations etc... All 'because money' selling propietary chemicals they knew were a) highly toxic, b) eco accumulative, C) very long-lived, and hid it for years. Their actions have caused detriment to many lives and ecosystems permanently.

I'd personally like to see the people who made these company decisions jailed, and the businesses fined to nonexistence. But this is something.

For anyone who misread the title as tragically as I did, 3M is the company. The amount is 2bn.

It's almost like the incentive structure of capitalism is fucked up. It repeats this over and over and over

Wasn't there something about they suggested for firefighters to donate blood because that way they can reduce their levels of poison?

I thought I heard about it in a youtube documentary about dupont and teflon.

Is it a lot to this company or not?

The creeks around Ipswich have PFAS signs on them because of this debacle. Good that they're suing but I doubt that it's enough to fix the damage and compensate victims.
