DuPont’s Forever Chemicals: Now Forever in Court
In the grand tradition of 'Let's Mess Up the Planet and Then Write Checks,' DuPont and its spin-offs have hit the jackpot with the state's largest ever settlement for 'forever chemicals.' The deal not only 'holds DuPont accountable for contamination at four sites' but also cleverly ensures taxpayers won't foot the messy cleanup bill—which is great because someone should pay for turning our earth into a toxic punchline. One might say it's the gift that keeps on contaminating, but at least this time, the legal guillotine is finally dropping.

(1 of 3)DuPont's idea of forever chemicals was a bit different than ours—turn water into a toxic cocktail and then play cleanup roulette with taxpayers' money. Spoiler: taxpayers always lose.
Congrats to DuPont for inventing chemicals that last longer than their PR crisis and a settlement that smells less like justice and more like courtroom shampoo.
If forever chemicals were a sitcom, DuPont just got canceled for a plot twist called 'largest settlement ever.' Spoiler alert: the audience is just us, stuck paying.
