Massive 3M payout over bad chemical “uncertainties”

MAPLEWOOD, Minnesota — Chemical manufacturer 3M has agreed to pay $7.3 billion — that’ billions with a “b” — to thousands of people who claimed their groundwater was poisoned by 3M chemicals in the ground water. The chemicals were in widely used and highly profitable fire-fighting foam. The money will be divided amng120, 000 claimants, mostly nea airports where the foam was used for decades in training drills for airplane crashes. Among poisoned sites was French Island on the Mississippi River is Wisconsin, near the LaCrosse airport. The issue was so-called “forever chemicals” that never ever dissolve or degrade. Even with the settlement, 3M continued to sidestep responsibility: 3M’s chair, William Brown, saidt he settlement substantially reduces “uncertainty” about the chemicals. The payout will be over nine years, which mitigates damage to 3M’s bottom line.

MSP Airport finds lack of interest in commercial spaces

Restaurant operators and retailers balked at the high asking rents and long lease terms that MSP Airport wanted as part of a large search for new tenants. Why it matters: MSP's reputation as the top U.S. airport is based partly on its dining and shopping options . The lack of vendor interest shows that it may be asking too much from businesses seeking access to the airport's 36 million annual travelers. State of play: The airport has been working on a major overhaul of its commercial spaces this year. Staff informed the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) that it found vendors for less than half of the available space. By the numbers: In May, the MAC issued a request for proposals for about 40% of the restaurant and retail spaces in both terminals — 80,000 square feet in total. All of those spaces were bundled into 10 batches. Nobody responded to four of the batches and staff chose not to award deals to a group that was the only respondent on two others. Concessions brings in big bucks for the airport — it reported $250 million in revenue from rent collections last year. The intrigue: The airport had a long list

Op-Ed: The Numbers Are the Receipts on How America Treats Black Women

In this op-ed, sociologist Dr. David J. Johns, CEO of the National Black Justice Collective, argues that public attacks on Black women, from Laura Loomer’s comments about Florida Senate candidate Angie Nixon to criticism of journalists and elected officials, reflect deeper failures. He points to rising unemployment among Black women, steep federal job losses, a 65-cent pay gap, high student loan debt, maternal mortality and harsh school discipline for Black girls. Johns, editor-in-chief of the forthcoming “The Black Papers,” calls for passing the Momnibus Act and PRO Act, extending postpartum Medicaid, ending zero-tolerance discipline and funding organizations led by Black women.

Sea shanties with Longest Johns at Varsity Theater

On a chilly and rainy Monday, Oct. 26, Seán Dagher and The Longest Johns performed at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis. The seashanty band gained notoriety after their cover of “The Wellerman” went viral during the COVID-19 lockdown. This came as a shock to me — sea shanties, songs I’d heard at science fiction conventions growing up, were suddenly known and popular? The trend was surprising, but also short-lived. Still, The Longest Johns’ popularity has mostly lasted past the end of the viral moment. I have fond memories from 2024 of listening to the album “Caught In The Net Vol. 1” with friends when it dropped while studying for our first college midterms. And when I heard they were going to be in Minnesota, almost exactly two years later, I jumped on the chance to go.
