Where are you seeing that? I don’t have that but if that’s the case that’s really terrible.

It’s one of the options you can swipe through on the Dyson. You can look at PM10, 24hr AQ, PM 2.5 etc.

That tracks. Some of the pro bono legal work I do is petitioning the EPA to repair/maintain faulty federal air quality monitors. Especially in big cities (and especially in low-income areas), the monitors are a mess. Without accurate data, citizens can’t initiate Clean Air Act suits against polluters because there’s no/little indication that atmospheric pollution is too high in the first place.

Insane that the fed govt doesn’t properly fund things like this. Leaving us literally in the dust.

The problem with Government, at least in the US, is that there's two parties in charge of it. One party tries to get it to work, the other party says "the government is broken, let me show you how broken it can be." Government also doesn't tax the crap out of us, taxes have been higher in the past, just the biggest money people get the most tax breaks.

I used to think that was true, but there's a lot of stuff they could try to get to work that they sit on their hands over. Preferable to the side that works to make things worse but still terrible for the average citizen.

Totally. We should just start demanding they work together.
