This is what bugs me about capitalism, they don’t keep to their corner, they basically stand back and look for the most opportunistic land and steal it from people that want nothing to do with capitalism.
I wish we could encapsulate all that in one region so it would become obvious it doesn’t make things better.
Due to past industrial activity, New Jersey has more Superfund toxic waste sites than any other state in the union despite its small geographic size. By 2024, only 35 of New Jersey’s Superfund sites (out of about 150 that have been on the EPA’s list since the Superfund law was passed in 1980) have been cleaned up.[247]
In late 2023, a concern became public about PFAs (so-called “forever chemicals”) existing in the state’s water supplies.[248]

Funny thing is we used to use New Jersey for that.
