This is a funny distraction and prelude to the inevitable gutting of clean water regulations that he plans to do. Reminds me of the stunt pulled by the inventor of leaded gasoline and real-life Captain Planet villain Thomas Midgley (seriously, look him up) when he tried, unsuccessfully, to assure the public that TEL was safe by huffing it for a minute and pouring it over himself:

"On October 30, 1924, Midgley participated in a press conference to demonstrate the apparent safety of TEL, in which he poured TEL over his hands, placed a bottle of the chemical under his nose, and inhaled its vapor for sixty seconds, declaring that he could do this every day without succumbing to any problems."

He's literally on the board of a union and everything I've seen him say is very pro union, I think you may be taking something out of context.

I'm curious, what's the issue you have with him? I've only seen him vocal about the writer strikes lately and his message was fine.

DVI -- sure, but if you think 1080p over VGI looks perfect you should probably get your eyes checked.

I'm told that if you mix in some bleach, it'll "do a tremendous number" on the pathogens.

Left: useless because it's ugly as hell and won't fit in anywhere. Right: useless because it falls apart if you sneeze at it.
