    A woman was raped on a Pennsylvania train. Witnesses didn't even call 911.
    Slate (Left) • Factual Grade 79% • 2 min read

    The woman was assaulted at around 11 p.m. while riding the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority Market–Frankford line. The assault went on for around eight minutes. Throughout that time, none of the passengers did anything.
    ...
    It was only when a SEPTA employee saw what was going on that 911 was called and officers immediately responded and were able to catch the suspect in the act. [Timothy Bernhardt, the superintendent of the Upper Darby Township Police Department] said there were not “dozens of people” but there were enough that “collectively, they could have gotten together and done something.”
    ...
    Police are also investigating reports that some riders recorded or took photos of the rape. Anyone who recorded the attack but failed to intervene could be charged. But Bernhardt acknowledged it would be “very difficult to bring charges” against people for not intervening.

Context: EPA sets out new guidelines to regulate forever chemicals.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - I have attempted to do my own research regarding PFAS and their affect on human health. It is extremely annoying because there appears to be no definitive guidelines regarding what products contains harmful PFAS. Unfortunately this debate appears to be politicized between wacky environmental and natural health groups on the left and crazy big business nuts on the right.


No - There is no data from controlled studies that show a causative pathway by which PFAS compounds harm humans...



Unsure - I'm a little unclear as to how a chemically inert substance is able to harm me...
