No argument, it’s a surprise to the morons who were manipulated into voting for the guy, but most everyone else saw what was happening.

Seems like if that’s was the case, steep times wouldn’t matter. Why would tea steeped longer have significantly less metal in it than tea steeped shorter if they both got poured through the same filter?

From the article (emphasis mine):

It turns out that the type of tea bag matters. The team found that cellulose tea bags work the best at adsorbing toxic metals from the water while cotton and nylon tea bags barely adsorbed any contaminants at all—and nylon bags also release contaminating microplastics to boot. Tea type and the grind level also played a part in adsorbing toxic metals, with finely ground black tea leaves performing the best on that score. This is because when those leaves are processed, they get wrinkled, which opens the pores, thereby adding more surface area. Grinding the tea further increases that surface area, with even more capacity for binding toxic metals.

He doesn’t fucking care. The whole campaign was about doing and saying whatever was needed to get elected so that he could avoid lawsuits, make a profit, and dismantle government. Rich and powerful supported him because they saw ways for themselves to get more rich and more powerful. The richest man on the planet went all in, and now is personally helping to eliminate government agencies that were investigating his own businesses. They don’t care that the public gets unhappy, they’ve served their purpose.

This isn’t a surprise, it’s their plan going as intended.
