Like the better-known chemical BPA, BPS is an endocrine disruptor linked to breast cancer and reproductive toxicity.

    Banned in Germany since 2020; 2025 banned across Europe. So not a capitalism problem per se, more like an government problem

      Looked it up, could only find bans of BPA, which has since been replaced with BPS. Can you confirm BPS is actually banned?

      The governments you’re referring to are socially funded institutions that exist to protect the populace against the exploitations of capitalism. Sadly, they are the exception to many other governments which have let the corruption that capitalism breeds take hold.

      That’s like saying “bleeding is not a stabbing problem per se, more like a bandages problem”

      Like, yeah, keeping a stockpile of bandages is probably a good idea just in case, but maybe we should prevent people from stabbing each other in the first place?
