Logan Paul at least sounds correct to my ignorant ears but at the same time Logan Paul criticising someone for doing inappropriate things for clicks is... bold.
Same. The hypocrisy is hilarious, but based on what i know about microplastics/PFAS and how FDA and food product testing works he's most likely right in this case.
He's not just doing it for clicks though, he's actually suing the very big sucessful brand. I'm not normally a defender of Logan Paul but frivolous lawsuits are a genuine problem
I work in this field. I hate to say it but Logan Paul is right on point this seems really like a frivolus lawsuit
@@xxmadmagexx Honestly it's not even Logan Paul who is right about it. Prime is a billion dollar company, and he's just the owner and face of it. I've seen no indication saying that the actual day to day isn't being run as a serious company, by competent people. I'm sure they have their ducks in a row about a thing like this, at least enough to cover them legally.
Id trust Michael Vick to watch my dog before id trust logan paul.
Phil: "statistics was the only class I enjoyed!"
My husband, currently doing stats homework: "Fucking psychopath."
I think everyone would agree with your husband LOL
God I hated stats!! And then as it turned out I didn't even need it.
To be fair, Statistics was a pretty fun class for me when I was going to community college before heading on to university.
Wait, your husband didn’t know he was a psychopath. Everyone knows Phil is a psychopath. Anyone in the independent news industry is a psychopath end of discussion.
Statistics was one of the courses when I was doing my psychology BSc I was super scared of. Because I’d grown up believing that I was bad with math and numbers. But I always did the best in that class somehow. Maybe, how the data was presented, I could understand it better. But then, I also scored highly on the psychopathy scale so maybe your husband is on to something 😅
As a hospital lab tech, hearing him say that they aren't required to have a certified lab with real lab techs is sad but not surprising when we've been facing a huge shortage for almost a decade now. The last I saw was that we have about 7000 job openings each year but only about 3-4000 new techs graduating. Maybe if we can turn colleges into educational systems and not a corporation of profiting off of the hopes and despair of the poor we might be able to catch up.
Good point and also this to me was more about quality control to not catch an accident. Having people need more education not only will it make it harder to find employee's but also raise the cost of an already expensive procedure. I feel this is a big knee jerk reaction for one oopsie, that company getting sued should be enough to make them triple check their work
I graduated some years ago and was looking for a position in any lab settings
entry level, needed 2 years experience and the pay is abysmal
why is it like this when there is such shortage, i dont get it
Hydrogen peroxide... a bleaching agent often used to *checks notes* sterilize biologically contaminated lab equipment. Replacing "sterile solution" with "sterilizing solution"... yeah, qualification level (lack there of) checks out.
As someone over in Europe who watches as a part of my morning routine. I really appreciate the morning comments Phil has started doing. I no it's kinda stupid but It actually makes me feel more included and less behind and it's nice and gives a little spark to my mornings.
100% agree, it's a little thing that goes a long way to give a nod to non-US audiences
Same
Same! I watch his show while I'm getting ready for work and it feels nice to be included lol
I liked it too even though I’m in the US, I work nights and I’m already at work by the time he posts so I watch in the morning with y’all!
I am in the US but I also watch in the mornings and have also appreciated this subtle change
It's absurd how there is so much opposition to government overreach in business but no one says a word about corporate overreach into people's lives.
Lol yea. Government overreach is only a problem if it's preventing companies making more money and controlling their employees.
@@frostfang1right dude like how is would it be the bills fault for employers poorly training their employees? That’s been happening since the dawn of time and seems more like a management and trainers problem not the employees problem 😂
Biden can do what he wants his supporters are brain dead
The people complaining about government overreach would probably claim that it is up to the employee to not agree. They would probably also claim, "Nobody is holding a gun to your head." Seemingly to believe that everyone has limitless resources, let alone desire, to pick up and move to where the jobs are.
@@XShrike0 youre basically describing the republicans speaking points...
they always say that if employees dont like it then they can go work elsewhere, like they have the ability to up and move at a drop of a dime.
if this type of sht makes you pissed off then vote blue no matter who... send these corporate right wing bozos back to the unemployment line like they suggest we do...
The only people who hurt from banning non competes is businesses. Pay your employees well and don’t treat them like shit and you have nothing to worry about.
It's the paying part they don't like. Union busting, overtime, wage discussion, it's nothing new that the government has to get involved. It's about damn time for this aspect
If I went to a football game years ago we would probably won but not since the goat left us and we suck now
The only people who hurt from banning non competes are ~terrible businesses that no one wants to work for~
@@darthcravus I am very confused on what you mean here? like is it for or opposed to this? if the "goat" left maybe they had good reason to leave and should be allowed to find a better pasture elsewhere.
@@darthcravus Bad example. Football is fundamentally opposed to how every industry outside of entertainment works.
My dad in the early 2000's was approached by a company to hire him while he was already employed but they offered much more money to do the same job. He took the offer and put in his two week notice. He then the next day was told he had signed a non compete clause and he couldn't take the new job nor would he still be employed by his current employer. This lead to him being unemployed for over a year and almost losing our house to foreclosure. We made it through but it was a ridiculous petty move that the company had zero need to do and didn't show any remorse over. Non compete clauses should have always been illegal and I am glad to see them go.
Non-competes have gotten out of control. I've seen fast food employees have to sign them, where you can't work for another fast food place within a certain number of miles for three years after leaving a job. Some towns aren't even three miles long. It's insane.
I work in schools and one I signed was I can’t work in any private school in the county. Luckily I moved 60 miles away and work in public school now and don’t have one.
The fact that it took this long to ban non-competes is fucking insane, you where literally at the mercy of sociopath bosses who would threaten your entire career if you didnt lick their boots, and this has gone on for DECADES. Nuts that it took so long for some lawmakers to wake up to how fucked up the situation was
I'm surprised this was ever legal or actually enforced
No wonder monopolies ran out of control. How the hell can anyone get enough experience to start their own business in any field without getting shackled by a contract they signed decades ago
@@nightigalif a boss hates u enough they’ll keep a eye on u to continue fucking up ur life
@@nightigal Contract law in America is wild
California Prohibits non-competes and I had 1 company still try to enforce it and prevent me from taking a better opportunity with double the pay in the same industry, and they succeeded ! It is indeed wild! Thankfully I was able to join a different industry with better pay than my first offer. After I got my better job, my old company sent a notice that the non-compete was Not applicable in California after they had already interfered with my prospects. I honestly didn't even know they existed.
Regarding the Logan Paul / Tommy the Lawyer thing, it shouldn't be on Logan to disprove these rumors.. it should be up to Tommy to prove that the lawsuit is factual.
Facts especially with a cancer claim
It feels bad defending Logan Paul but man that lawyer dude better get his facts straight before slandering people's brands.
@@MasterJack2 I truly dont believe that man is a lawyer especially with that debate me bro comment
litterally bro could get sued for slander for this
Logan's got to say something in the court of public opinion, but his detailed defense of how his company has been following applicable regulations and safety guidelines seems pretty solid.
😂😂 “wet and confused” caught me way off guard 😂
As someone who went through the better part of a decade of IVF….this story is devastating in a way that most can’t understand.
It’s crazy that the TikTok ban and foreign aid was in the same bill
It’s frustrating because it seems like there many who don’t care about banning tiktok but will vote for it if they get the things they want even if they’re completely unrelated.
@@CMTZ11That's why they do it.
thats how they do bills they put shit in popular bills to get them passed.
Not really from a geopolitical standpoint. Bytedance has a lot of ties to the CCP and is based in China. Given the party's "Anti-Corruption" laws, the party can swarm the business anytime. This give the party reach to watch and influence people overseas through Bytedance and TikTok. There are no private companies under the CCP. It's a large reason why miHoyo, the company responsible for Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail moved it's HQ to Singepore - to avoid CCP influence... Also to make sure the "pretty boy" character designs stay that way rather than being forced to change it since it didn't fit the party's standards.
It's just making sure there are less levers for a rival nation to pull from.
@@watchingvids423 the thing that gets me is what use is TikTok from an espionage standpoint? At most they could use it in a manner similar to how Russia campaigned on social media for Trump's election. Are the Chinese soldiers suddenly going to bust out in a flash mob of popular TikTok dances on the battlefield and expect the US soldiers to be so entertained they don't return fire while they mow them down? The only things that could potentially cause a risk is if Government officials use TikTok on Government devices since that could give away military location info but banning it from Government employees and military personal seems easier and idk less stupid than a country wide ban for civilians who just wanna watch cats be scared of cucumbers
The noncompete ban is the best thing that’s happened to the working class in a long time.
espsecilly when they are doing it for like jimmyjohns blocking people from leaving to go to subway or other sanwitch places
Great, now do NDAs.
Um, if you have to worry about non-competes, you're probably not working class 😂
@@seb.k3871 Did you miss where phil mentioned even some minimum wage jobs do it? Also, someone in these replies just mentioned that jimmyjohns does it. Going further down, there are people mentioning grocery stores, construction companies and software companies that all use these.
@@seb.k3871🤨Read the comments and tell us that working for places like grocery stores and construction isn’t working class.
In 2022, my department was downsized due to company restructuring and over-hiring during the pandemic. During layoffs, HR presented our signed non-compete agreements, reminding us we couldn't work for a direct competitor or existing/potential clients for a year. In my very niche market, this significantly limited my job options. Ironically, the entire market took a downturn around the same time. It took me a full year to find a new position. Now, at my new job, I face a similar non-compete, but with an even longer restriction!
While I understand companies want to prevent employees from immediately joining competitors, enforcing non-competes on laid-off workers feels unfair. It's like being punished twice - losing your job and then being restricted from finding a new one in your field.
If you have to drop certain segments so folks can go on well deserved vacations feel free. I noticed the missing segment, but it didn't bother me. Keep up the good work.
The FTC banning non-competes is huge. Non-competes affected me directly. I was a software developer in the financial technology industry and lost my job due to COVID when the company I was working for laid off all contractors. The non-compete that I signed prevented me from working in other FinTech jobs and made it dramatically harder for me to get back into the industry while it was at its lowest. If you work in IT, having to change the subject matter you work on every time you change jobs is just a nightmare. I'm fine signing a non-disclosure, but non-competes are evil.
It still applies with layoffs?! That’s beyond absurd.
Congrats being the featured furry in IT lol no shade, cute pfp
I worked for a heavy construction company under a non-compete agreement. It was on the edge of legality restricting where I could work for 2 years in a tri-state area. I decided to risk it and left anyway and went to a competitor. They found out and sent me a cease and desist. I hired a lawyer and fought back and was lucky to win. I've come to the conclusion that they use it as a scare tactic to keep people from leaving and working for the competition. I fought back just a little bit and they backed off. Still frustrating it cost me $1200 in attorneys fees.
That was the whole point. They didn't think anyone would even think of fighting back
@@TheChapelx jokes on them. I'm too stupid to not fight back.
yeah i do imagine its less to "protect their Trade secrets" and more to keep workers in line. its not exactly easy to just suddenly change careers on the fly after all.
i mean hell, if the trade secrets are so secret, then maybe more laws to protect trade secrets are in order.
@@Sniperbear13 It *literally* has nothing to do with trade secrets, even on its face. That's what non-disclosement agreements are for. And hell, beyond that, poaching a competitor to obtain and use their trade secrets is an actual criminal offense. There are already very potent barriers to protect trade secrets, non-competes aren't even a factor.
Not saying that you said they were, I'm just pointing this out because anybody who tries to muddy the waters on this is lying to your face about it.
@@neruneri yeah they are just gonna make it sound like it is. they don't want to admit the real reason. they have to sound... Cleaner.... Friendlier...
I work in plastics and there are so many microplastics everywhere. The grinder room alone has plastic dust everywhere and it looks like snow when it’s floating through the air.
i always find it funny that people underestimate it i got told the other day "never drink out of plastic bottles you will get microplastics drink everything in glass from the sink.
which was hilarious to me because microplastic levels in the water from the sink are higher than drinking from plastic bottles where i live.
They are everywhere avoiding them isn't possible unless you refuse to eat or drink and stay in an enclosed space with no microplastics.
Thank you for including the morning in your intro, I sure feel included as I get ready for work on the other side of the pond 🥰
In early 2020, I was working at a grocery store with a terrible manager who refused to give consistent hours. I got a job at another store in town for an extra two days of work because I needed money due to mounting debt and no other places accepting me. I told her that my schedule had changed to accommodate. After her forcing to tell her where I applied and nearly forcing me to leave, I had to turn down the new job due to the noncompete clause. Those clauses shouldn’t exist for people who just need to get by and can’t get enough money to make ends meet. Who cares what other store I work at, just let people show up and do their job and go home. Thankfully I left there soon after and am much happier where I’m at.
Damn that is rough, but glad you found something that makes you much happier. They really out here thinking that if you have the price of lettuce memorized at both shops you're going to drop that hot knowledge on people so they can go to the other place and its crazy. Its probably some odd "brand loyalty" mentality (like you can't just recommend the other place outside of work hours anyways), but its funny/odd to think a grocery store might have trade secrets they're trying to hide.
that makes zero sense to me really. its not like you are gonna have knowledge that is all that secret that could ruin other stores.
What is it with the grocery industry and awful management? I worked at one for years and I saw some violent things
@@Sunari It was such an obnoxious situation. My manager had a closed door meeting with me and brought in another department manager to witness any interaction, so she was fully prepared to fire me on the spot. She brought out the handbook and showed me the small section way in the back that had the clause. Either way, a few months later I quit on the spot but not without first telling her every thought and feeling I had.
@@catsncrows The amount of laws she broke from violating HIPAA to denying full time benefits while giving full time work (she would mark us down as part time employees and give 40hrs a week). HR did all they could to protect her and she’s still there 4 years later. Every bad experience I’ve had in a job came from working at a grocery store
I adore the argument of “oh companies won’t put in the resources to train and retain employees!” as if a place that doesn’t raise wages over the years or that feels like the only way to keep people on is to shackle them to their desk is actually putting in the time effort or resources to train their employees well and provide for them as people. Like no they’re already viewing their employees as overhead cost at that point and boy do they wanna slash those costs. You think they’re spending money on employees? Yeah right
Especially when many companies already don't want to put in time / effort into training employees. Why else would there be such a widespread issue of requiring multiple years of experience for an entry level job?
Yea I was like "uhhhh they already aren't training employees, they just rely on hiring employees from other companies to do that, or somehow expect that's what college was for"
A bunch of them were charging employees for training! “You have to pay 8000 dollars for petsmart dog training” was something Phil covered a couple years back.
They've gone full mask off. They would rather have wage slaves than treat employees like human beings. Pretty disgusting comments when you really think about it.
"Wet and Confused"
I wasnt ready but I was delighted all the same!
😂
I don’t know about human medicine residencies, but in Veterinary medicine we have a huge problem with public universities imposing non-compete clauses on their residents that cover hundreds of miles and force newly minted specialists out of state.
Chamber of Commerce sounds really scummy right now. Imagine a world where companies have to keep their employees happy in order to keep them.
Not to mention how blind they are to think that in the age of information trade secrets are staying secret, and to think companies are actually training employees.
Yeah imagine having to treat their employees well, the horror!
@@DeMart501 yep. They are better off trademarking and copyrighting their special projects, and then suing any company that steals the idea into the ground.
Gosh what an awful world, a world where employees aren’t miserable GOSH
They really went full mask off by opposing this bill so much. It's a good move for consumers. Fuck them, honestly.
My husband is an MD in a rural clinic. He had to sign a non compete. But they are barely paying enough to survive in this economy. All the years and moves to get him as a practicing doctor. And because it is small the pay is crap. But if he wanted to go to another clinic nearby to get paid more, he has to wait 5 years from when he leaves. That means moving again and ripping our kids away from the only stability they have had. We went through a lot and he works very hard. If they don’t pay properly, he should be able to find a career that pays his worth without uprooting our lives again.
That sounds, like many non compete clauses, to not be legally enforceable. There is a littany of precedence. If you can afford it, get the opinion of a lawyer.
Ah, I just got to the point of the video where he mentioned the ban. Glad for you!
Holy sh*t. The embryo situation is absolutely devastating.im so sorry. My heart goes out to these families. Even if it is an isolated incident, like you said, Phil. Negligence, negligence, or extreme negligence. It shouldn’t be happening.
I love that shirt Phill. I had to sign a non-compete for a company I worked for when I was very young. It was a jewler who specialised in watch repair. I learned and worked for them for two years. I never tried to work somewhere else. The non-compete scared me off.
It is not right for any company to be able to tell you what you can do when you are no longer working there.
This is a far too general statement that I think you have some unintentional side effects. In the case of legitimate trade secrets, I disagree. You shouldn't take the secret sauce recipe and tell the competitor. I'm also not against non-compete clauses, but someone on a non-compete clause should stay on payroll at their salary as part of their severance for the duration of their non-compete. If the company doesn't want to pay, then they can have the option to withdraw/dissolve the non-compete clause at the time of the employee's dismissal. I say that because I wouldn't want a company to sabotage work opportunities and then drop the non-compete when its the least convenient to the employee.
I remember being 18 and working stock at Pottery Barn, and having to sign a non-compete. When I asked about it, they said, "Yeah, you can't work in any other stock rooms." Like, what? How is that competitive?
They ended up tapering my hours after I hurt my shoulder on a severely understaffed black friday. They were definitely a lesson my future employers were unhappy I learned.
It's totally understandable, what if you told or showed the other workplace how pottery barn stocks. That could hurt pottery barn. 🤪
Just wanted to say that, since you added the good morning greeting to the start of the show, I've taken that as inspiration to start waking up earlier to exercise and watch your show.
Thanks for convincing me to start my day a little healthier than flying out of bed 5 minutes before I'm out the door!
I work in the health field. The hospital/health corporation in my area is nearly a monopoly. It'll be interesting to see how many of our doctors start private practices once the non-compete is gone. Hopefully it will get more specialists here...which is desperately needed.
The negligence in the American healthcare system is mind boggling. Used to work in a biolab, and the amount of mistakes I had to fix, that even trained CLSs and Doctors made, were day to day. False pregnancies, incorrect blood work/covid test results, misplacement of samples -all because my leads wanted to be on their phones or get the shift over with.
Like, these are people's lives we were affecting. Genuinely hate to see more examples of how devastating it is.
I was in the hospital for months one time and with them drawing my blood twice a day every day for that long my veins were tapped out and the nurses had such a hard time getting blood out of me. After one blood draw the lab lost all my blood vials and called up like oh just redraw it. I wanted the nurses to let me call them and tell them to find my damn blood 😂
Even more mind-boggling is the fact that you guys have to pay an arm and a leg for healthcare and this still happens. Imagine going into debt for healthcare and that same healthcare fucks you over... Jesus christ
NDAs are different than Non-competes so honestly there should be no worries about trade secrets being revealed. Banning Non-competes is just a win win for America. When looking for work it was always a serious consideration for me and I was turned down from some companies because I have and am working for their competitor, but now this will open up more opportunities. The job market is absolutely brutal right now so anything to make it possible for people to get work that prior to this ban would have been near impossible is an absolute positive for our country.
OMG! The non-compete story genuinely brightened my day and gave me some relief! I found a job in the industry I'd like to start a business in (different business models, target markets) and I was terrified of how broad the non-compete seemed. Can't wait to see this go into effect!
I’m really happy about the No-Compete ruling! A local clinic had their doctors sign one when they joined the clinic that would bar the doctor from practicing in our city for a year. And it led to a bad situation where these doctors went without pay for months while this clinic went through administrative changes.
It was horrible to watch and even though a number of them left the clinic they’re still dealing with the clause.
To make matters worse this is Fairbanks Alaska, there are no other city’s within 200 miles for them to practice in.
The thing I don't hear enough people talking about with the TikTok ban is the financial aspect. It is incredibly suspect to me that the ban isn't about safety measures or checks and balances, it's sell your company to someone we like. And gee, look at how many good, fine, upstanding American companies that definitely don't already use American's data in unethical ways are just lining up to buy it.
Yeah! The convo shouldn't be "we can't let China have our citizens data", but "we shouldn't let ANY corporation collect all this data"
It also comes at a time when we passed FISA expansion which just does for and by the US gov, the exact same thing they claim that China does on Tiktok Aaaannd US companies are copying the Tiktok format for clicks (as well as jsut stealing the videos and posting them on their own platforms with the watermark still there lol)
It's painfully obvious. You know Zucc is foaming at the mouth for instagram reels to be the refuge for the massive audience of tiktokers.
It's hypocrisy. We just expanded the FISA laws to help us do exactly what we are accusing China of. Also, most YT shorts are just Tiktok reposts. Google/ Alphabet is involved in heavily and directly in both of these things.
@@Zoroasterisk get ready to pay for these services then
Just want to point out that "Russia's significant gains" in eastern Ukraine over the last 2 months amounts to a total area smaller than Brooklyn. In the last 2 months Russia has captured a grand total of 136 square kilometers. The area of Brooklyn NY is 180 square kilometers. It's really not significant gains. It's miniscule and has cost them hundreds of armored vehicles and tens of thousands of lives.
They just call it significant so it doesn't hurt Putin's feelings.
And Ukraine's younger generation has been decimated... long term this is bad for Ukraine.
How many gumballs is that though? It seems like that would be a better number to present to Putin.
Yoooo Russia has captured a perfectly average sized area. Some would say it’s actually above average in size…
@@VicioussamaThat is false, the average Ukrainian soldier is 35-40 years old
Noncompete clauses should have never been a thing, why have we gotten to the point where businesses control our lives to this degree. Those trying to defend it are just part of the problem.
As someone going through infertility, and knowing the most recent stats of 1 in 6 couples will struggle with infertility my heart breaks for those 9 families. Not just the money for every IVF cycle, but the emotional decision couples make every few months to try again with assistance from fertility clinics. I truly hope laws change and there are more regulations and schooling needed to be a lab technician for a fertility clinic.
I’m an environmentalist, so I work with PFAS contamination. It’s a bit ridiculous to freak out over prime, and not also over sunscreen, makeup, non-stick pans, dri-fit clothing, drinking water near airports, and rainwater.
To be fair I do freak out over living 2 miles from an air force base.
But I don't drink prime - just Dr pepper - so I'm not freaking out about prime.
Non stick pans have had a war zone type legal battle for years. But yes I agree with the sentiment
...so... we're fucked 3 ways to Tuesday? At this point it's so overwhelming it doesn't seem like there's any advantage to worrying anymore.
I would also break down the argument in that if any study shows a high PFAS/PFOS concentration in a drink, it says less about the concentration in the water used to create it but more about the additives they use to create it
Completely unrelated, but Phil saying 'happy [insert day] evening/[insert day] morning' makes me irrationally happy. I watch this show every morning here in Down Undah, with my energy drink and the cockatoos on the power lines. It's a wonderful way to start my day, and it feels wrong without the show 😊
I watch it in the morning too as it comes out after i go to sleep (i live in Europe) so it also makes me very happy :)
I really miss the PDS merch song when you don't have a lil promo at the end. Pls make it your outro or drop the link because I NEED IT 🙏🏼
my husband has a noncompete in his current workplace, and it's really awful. his workplace has gotten worse and worse over the last year and a half, and he's got specialized skills that don't transfer all that well to places that wouldn't be within his noncompete. and even recently a few other people at his job were like "if you don't treat us better we'll go somewhere else" and the managers were just like "you signed a noncompete so have fun with that". and on top of that, he LOVES what he does in general, so having to do something else would just make working even worse. i hope that something actually happens here, because it would be amazing for so many people.
this is exactly what they are made for, to restrict you from finding better work elsewhere. yeah I get that some people actually may know things that could assist another competitor in doing what the company does, but in 90% of situations its purely used to ensure people stick with them regardless of if they suck or not.
I had one. But honesty. The amount of money it would take to sue someone for “breaching” isn’t even on the company’s radar. As long as you’re not sharing SOP’s, numbers, recipes etc they won’t even look twice at you. They have way bigger things to deal with
I find it hard to believe that anyone could use hydrogen peroxide instead of whatever solution they were using for the embryos. Having worked in labs all my life things are labeled. I really don't understand how that happened.
It's just that extra little 2!
Ah yes, Logan Paul, a person well known for his honesty is telling you to drink his sludge
Hope your editor enjoys their break ❤ ty editor.
At my previous job, I collaborated with scientists and engineers for three years to investigate PFAS. We focused on the remediation techniques and potential alternatives to PFAS products, specifically fire foams. There is a lot I could talk about, but I want to focus on Logan's conflict and clarify some things. PFAS is a group of 430+ chemicals, including well-known ones like PFOA, PFOS, and Teflon. These chemicals can be found on cookware surfaces, in storage plastics, and other products that can leach into food, water, air, and soil. Focusing on Logan's issue, it is possible he could use fluorinated plastics; these plastics can leach PFAS chemicals into food products but at minimal concentrations. Not all processes in America ban the use of PFAS and there are no bans on imports that contain PFAS chemicals. So, stay away from cheap Chinese cookware. Current regulations by the EPA allow for specified levels of PFAS concentration in products, varying by each PFAS chemical and there isn't a set limit for all PFAS chemicals. The limits are scattered around, but about 6 to 14 chemicals have limits. For PFOS and PFOA, the limit is 4.0 ppt, and current measurement techniques approved by the EPA can detect levels as low as 0.5 ppt.
YES, PFAS chemicals can cause health effects, including increased cholesterol levels affecting the heart, reduced antibody response to vaccines, changes in liver enzymes, adverse effects on infant birth weights, and the potential for kidney and testicular cancer (NOT lymphoma), particularly associated with PFOA. In my personal experience, I have had elevated cholesterol levels during my exposure to PFAS, but I can’t confirm that was the cause. However, these health risks manifest over prolonged exposure to much much higher concentrations, and research has also concluded that. This is the reason for the EPA’s limit on PFAS concentrations. This also means you can't have one bottle of PRIME containing PFAS chemicals and get cancer the next day.
Keep in mind that there are investigations on PFAS concentrations in the US water supply throughout the us. A large project that monitors this is the NOVA project. Unfortunately. For all Americans, there is some concentration of PFAS within all water sources throughout the US, and the EPA has a detailed map of concentrations of PFAS throughout the United States. Now, there can be an argument about how many measurements the state has provided or conducted for PFAS, but regardless, there is PFAS detection across the board. And even though states do have limits until they will pursue a company, the EPA has designated 9 PFAS chemicals as hazardous, including PFOA and PFOS, which will change how businesses can use the chemical and what rules they can follow. If you want to know more, I have replied to this comment with links to more information.
Well thanks for the info
Thank you for taking the time to write this all out!
They only found 0.6 in prime witch is not against fda law the only problem is parents are letting 5 year olds drink it and its made for 15 and older so i think its just bad parenting
Logan putting more effort towards that lawsuit than he did with reimbusing cryptozoo victims...
Nothing makes me feel better than hearing crypto Bros got scammed. Yet again. You think after the 40th time they would learn
@@jokersman666 lol im with you on that. Why the hell did anyone think that buying digital eggs from Logan was a good investment.

I worked at a paint store in 2018 for a week before I learned that I was allergic to a specific chemical used in the paint pigments. I think I'm STILL under that non-compete.
I'm all in favor for the ban on non-competes. I worked for a cabinet shop that barely paid me $10 an hour working 50+ hours a week and when I left for another shop that was going to pay me double my previous employer threatened to sue me for $200,000 and my new employer $100,000 for hiring me due to their non-compete I was forced to sign when I was initially hired.
I think it's an insane statement from the US CoC to state that banning non-competes will incentivize businesses to not put in effort to develop internal employees because that's already the reality. I'm personally an elder millennial in blue collar work and my experience has essentially been that unless you move jobs every 2-5 years you are actively punished with a lower salary and benefits than your value added to an organization. Employers will hire new employees at just below or at the same level as current employees with years/decades more experience and then wonder why their retention rates are in the gutter. Company loyalty made sense when companies were loyal to their employees with good pensions, benefits, retirement plans. They haven't been in 20+ years and these new rules are simply helping to level the power dynamic in the labor market.
The wife and I are going through IVF, we've had 3 cycles so far, all out-of-pocket expenses of around $60k total. We are now moving to using donor eggs. The turmoil of finding out another cycle has failed can be devastating because of how much time, money, and emotional effort you put into each cycle. I don't think I would be able to put into words the rage I would have if a clinic walked us through all of the steps knowing that it was going to end in failure. Speechless.

oh good I was busy yesterday as well and missed the show, and turns out I had an excuse all along. Thanks Phil!
I wouldn't trust FDA guidelines with a bucket of water if my knickers were on fire
Thank you for explaining the 'missing comment commentary' from the past videos. Glad to know it's a timing issue rather than falling by the wayside. Getting to see people's perspectives on the stories and knowing others can relate, it's one I look forward to watching.
Regarding trade secrets, there's another tool called a Non-Disclosure Agreement. An NDA doesn't stop you from working wherever you want, but if you disclose the info you agreed not to, you're open to some potentially massive penalties. Also, if your industry finds out you don't honour an NDA, other companies won't hire you.
Another part of trade secrets is that you should actually pay those employees who are involved in company secrets incredibly well. Not good... Incredibly well. It was always the case to do that until "NDA" meant that companies can pay $70k salaries to crucial employees.
Lawyer Bro vs Influencer Bro?
Yeah, I'm checked out! 😂
I want to be a Dentist and I found out that most dentist that start out under a more senior doctor sign noncompetes of about 30miles from the clinic. And i had no idea that was a thing. Good to know that it is now something being abolished.
The non-compete stuff hits home for me. Last year, I moved states for work. After 9 months, management and I mutually agreed that the position wasn't right for me and I left. Fresh out of college, I had nowhere to go because all the places who could use my degree were blocked by the non-compete clause in my contact. Had to move back home and my current job has the same clause.
Literally everyone at my job let out a sigh of relief when we heard the news. It's something that hangs over your head, knowing you could be fired and be barred from doing what you love in your own community.
You know, the threat that your employees could leave for a better position with your competitor should be INCENTIVE to better train and treat your employees well. One of the worst experiences is being in a workplace where you aren't given the tools to do your job and corporate obviously doesn't care, it's what makes you want to leave. Also, why would you hire employees and then just NOT train them? Your business will only suffer even if they do stick around. It's all just a capitalist tantrum over being told you actually have to keep competitive wages and a good work culture in your industry in order to keep employees around.
Some day I'd love to see a behind-the-scenes video that's Phil telling a news story without the jump-cuts every few words... not to see "aha! he's flubbing the lines!" but to see the way he speaks and thinks about what he's saying and the things he has to talk about to deliver us the prime-cut news we all love so much 😎
I have been watching Prime commercials of people drinking Prime and my eyeballs have cancer.
😂
My mother worked for a flooring retailer in the late 1990s and the owner was such an SOB that in 2000 she left with his bookkeeper and his warehouseman and started her own business. 20 years later and now I'm given the opportunity to work for myself/family and allows me to work while disabled. I think any sort of ban of this kind of action allows asinine bosses to monopolize the field on a local scale
Wow that’s crazy I used to drive by that Newport Lido building every day I worked. How sad !!
I was today years old when I learned that the U.S Chamber of Commerce is not some group thats part of congress, but the largest lobbying group in the US that is not actually a govt agency.
No wonder no one knows wtf is going on anymore. That name is incredibly deceptive and gaslighty
I'm not taking shots here, but I'm a little shocked that this would be revelatory information. Chambers of Commerce aren't a uniquely American thing. They were first seen in Europe in the very early 17th century, and their purpose was always to promote business interests. I live in Canada, and we have a national Chamber of Commerce and every town and city I've ever lived in or been to had a local one as well, and they were all very open and clear about the fact that their purpose was to promote business interests within their jurisdictions.
You know the people that print our money aren't part of the government either right? the people that loan our own government our currency is i repeat not part of our government .
@@uh8myzenChambers of Congress aren’t heavily covered in state curriculum and if parents don’t teach it, you aren’t going to know. New cycles don’t hone in on that info., here.
@@arozeisarozie Wow. I would have thought that it would be part of a high school civics curriculum at least. That's why I was surprised. It is actually pretty important information given how influential the Chambers can be on local and federal politics, at least they are in my country.
@@uh8myzen Well, and some of us were home-schooled, so we only learned what our parents taught us. My parents just pointed me to their old school books and said, "Go for it." I didn't know this until today, either, and I'm 44.
I love that more mainstream attention is coming to PFAS!
I work for a company that specifically treats PFAS in water, and while I can't speak to the specific claims of the Prime lawsuit, Logan is absolutely right, both about the pervasiveness of PFAS and how hard it is to detect. They are absolutely everywhere, and while we have known that they are harmful for several decades now, they were not specifically designated as hazardous chemicals by the EPA until very recently, as in TWO WEEKS AGO. So just because companies may have PFAS in their water supplies, that does not mean they are breaking any rules. Most of the regulations do not go into effect for a few years. He is also right about how hard it is to get accurate readings on specific levels of PFAS. When you're dealing with levels as low as we are with PFAS, in the parts per trillion or even parts per quadrillion, it is incredibly difficult to get an accurate reading. When we test our streams, will send the same samples out to get tested multiple times and come back with results that are several decimal places different from each other. One of the biggest difficulties is that we know that even extremely low levels are very harmful, and yet with the current technology, it is incredibly hard to detect just how much is in each sample.
I am not a fan of Logan Paul AT ALL, but in this specific case, it appears he's done a lot more research than many people making claims against Prime.
Sorry I don’t trust Logan nor his brother. Any claims he makes i won’t believe until it goes to the courtroom where all the evidence is on the table. He will say everything he can to make himself not the bad guy by denouncing and defaming his opponents. He has scammed people for years why should I trust anything he spews?
Well, I'm glad Prime isn't killing people (hopefully), but given LP track record it's easy to see why people are more than quick to assume he is screwing others for monetary gain.
@@TheSummerCoastI am too, Im not a fan of Logan Paul but Im glad that Prime is not making consumers sick (hopefully of course)
When you said “ad supported” I heard “ass forward” because I was elbow deep in my fish tank 😂 I didn’t even question it
I love that you recorded so many of these in advanced!
1. Different PFAS chemicals require different treatment methods and a pilot study would have to take place to see if they are being effectively removed.
2. PFAS is in literally everything, not just the “plastic bottles”. It is rampant throughout our world because it was excessively used in many, many products and they stick around for a very long time. Just because it’s in so many things and likely other processed drinks, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to remove it.
3. The EPA just adopted a set of MCLs for some PFAS chemicals. There are thousands of PFAS chemicals and now there is a maximum contaminant level for 6 of them. If you want more info about it, I suggest you look those up and it will explain a lot of how all this works.
Yeah i think logan may be the low hanging fruit. Easier to go after him rather than cocoa cola or giant conglomerate manufacturing mafias directly.
But i am tired of seeing products sold that say they are known to cause cancer and birth deffects. Tired of being given an allowable amount of poison. I vote for no poison! All in the name of cooporate proffits. Publicly traded compnanies are the root of most evil in our world.
Someone's lawyer REALLY wants a payday. 😂
tbf. The lawyer can be right in claiming that Prime is toxic and shouldn't be consumed by anyone, while Logan Paul an be right in claiming that he followed all regulations and that it is legal in the US.
Something being bad for your health has never stopped the FDA from allowing it...

Hearing that this show comes out in the afternoon in California feels weird. It's usually around 6-7pm in the east coast and I almost always end up watching while eating my dinner.
I watch if while having my afternoon snack or late lunch
I usually watch it on the toilet when I'm supposed to be working
Trade secrets are typically safe gaurded by NDA's. Corporations don't need non-competes; They just want to keep paying their employees as little as possible without fear of them jumping ship. FTC is right to jump in on this and protect the people
sadly has taken far to long for this to be done
Employment contracts always have a section on trade secrets that's essentially an NDA anyway. That's not what the non-competes are for. The non-competes are mostly about salespeople not stealing their client lists and poaching customers to a new company.
It just speaks volumes when TikTok is banned in it’s own country of origin!🤣

The IVF story breaks my heart for those women. I tried it once and the embryo didn't take and whip I tried to keep a strong face for a lot of people it hurt like hell. I can't imagine how much more it would have hurt if I had been in their position.
I’m from louisville KY where prime is manufactured and they use the louisville water company for their water.
the water company won the “Phase IV distributions presidents award” in 2022. sounds like mumbo jumbo but it’s actually the highest award you can get in America for purity and cleanliness. they’ve won many other awards on purity and taste, you can google all of them.
all this being said, if something went wrong at prime, it’s definitely not from the water company
You said mumbo jumbo so by the laws of the playground, you're 100% right.
Tbh I think Logan Paul is correct here. At the most, prime is unlikely to be worse for pfas than any other product, including straight water.
@@dismurrart6648 i agree rn
"we use the top manufacturers in the US" Oh, so it's almost guaranteed to have forever chemicals, then.
I used your Seat Geek thing once for a Ed Sheeran concert and they basically oversold my seats to two other groups. It was a headache to sort out in the middle of the opening of the concert.
18:00 Non-compete clauses remind me of how Americans get healthcare. You have to decide, keeping your healthcare or finding a job you love.
Fun fact: Intel, AMD, and Nvidia would not have been founded if these non-compete clauses were more widespread in the past.
AMD and Intel were founded by engineers from Fairchild Semiconductor and Nvidia was founded by engineers from AMD, Sun Microsystems, and IBM.
I’m those companies weren’t hampered by exploitative business practices. NVidia has been doing so well lately. (Other than Friday, we don’t talk about Friday). They are going to be heavily involved in the future of AI.
First time we’ve ever invested in a company’s future, I just wish we’d gotten in on it last October.
Here at my university cafeteria in South Africa, they are quite literally giving prime away when you buy potato chips that cost less than 40 American cents
"Wet & Confused" 🤔Wait a min LMAOOO
We need a law that would stop them from adding things to a bill that have nothing to do with the original bill.
I’m never going to drink anything from Logan Paul.
meh, dont really care who it comes from. Only upside cause it causes actual competition from the main brands. Dont know if its everywhere but my anecdotal evidence is monster has now dropped in price to $1.99.
I'm gonna be honest. I had no idea it was a Logan Paul drink.
I hate myself for it, but it's so good. And arguably better for me than diet Pepsi. 🤷♀️
Not even tears?
Better than Pepsi but still worse than water and an ineffective sports drink, which is what its supposed to be. May as well use mio water enhancers if you just need flavor to hydrate. @christyrodrigue6628
So happy to hear about the ftc ruling I’ve literally seen restaurant owners harassing (and getting closed down) food trucks of previous employees that aren’t even in the same city.
I used to work for the Purple Shipping Company, and they have non competes even at the lowest level. I had an employee that mentioned near upper management that she got a 2nd job at the post office making $5 more an hour and she was immediately told she needed to resign from PurpShip or the post office. I immediately lost one of my best people who wanted to work both jobs for a month to get extra money
Even as a dispatcher i was forced to sign a non-compete. Thank good that it will end soon ,so i can find a career away from the company i am at now.
Don’t drink prime, kids
Considering what happened the last time Logan threatened a journalist with a lawsuit, I think it’s safe to say he’s done something illegal.
👏👏👏
Honestly, I think it's most likely just as he said. They are making a LOT of money on Prime and having rumors and claims like this floating around would likely have a significant impact on their bottom line. Would it hurt them long term? Probably not but we could be talking millions of dollars in lost revenue.
I'm not saying that the claims are false or anything like Logan Paul definitely telling the truth here, it's just that when you have large amounts of money on the line, it's a logical move. It also shows that he's willing to sue for defamation and makes it less likely to happen in the future. Of course, that only works if it isn't true.
The non compete news is great id love to hear more in detail about it. I worked at starbucks, starbucks makes you sign a noncompete clause. I was trying to work at another coffee shop but technically couldnt because i had to wait a year so i didnt spill any starbucks secrets, yet we make coffee out in the open in front of everyone

I think the best thing I learned in Statistics is to really examine graphs. Look at where the data numbers start and end on the graph. Studies and advertisements tend to skew the numbers to when represented on a graph, the data can appear drastically more favorably. But if you were to graph all of the actual data, and not just points that are singled out, your interpretation of that graph could be drastically different. But most of the time people are just going to glance, see that the graph aligns with what the presenter is trying to say, and take it at face value. I’m sure I could have explained that much more eloquently, but I tried my best. :’)
I’m stuck in a non compete from a fast food chain. I’m happy knowing I might be free from that so I can find work again (I’ve been unemployed for months now)
Short of you being the lead designer of their products, that's bullcrap.
that is so wrong, like its fast food they shouldn't have any non compete especially for basic employees.

I adore the fact that everything Phil talks about time off or vacations, he puts a positive spin on it. More leaders, managers, and business owners need to follow his example.
Well said! It's fantastic that he takes personal ownership over certain mistakes/mishaps, as a boss who genuinely made a mistake, without shaming his employees to deflect the attention off himself.
It's interesting how many different sources there are on what the proper ppt amount is, then after reading further I found there is a big difference between the recommended amount vs the enforceable allowed amount. It's weird a lawyer would be caught up in that, and weirder a lawyer would make claims like that out in the open knowing full well how it could backfire.
