Wait, so fish inhale water… Some process takes place separating the water and oxygen atoms and then they exhale the carbon dioxide and hydrogen out their gills? Or am I still completely wrong?

Very interesting thanks… Now to do more research because this has buged me

Atleast on America that is by law if publicly traded. Let’s say a company discovers something that amazing, say cure for cancer and decides they are going to give it out for free for the benefit of mankind. They can be sued and will likely lose. Only real defense would be they thought the goodwill from giving away for free would earn the shareholders more money through goodwill towards the company. A smaller scale version of this would be like a farm raising animals in non-optimal conditions (for profit but nicer to the animals like free-range instead of cages). They could argue the customers will be willing to pay a premium for that.

If not publicly traded they can do whatever they want. If governmental they should have a goal or mission statement that states what their intent is(usually it’s not profit) but if it’s publically traded legally their only motive is profit to the shareholders.

At one point in my past I was the “stinky coworker”. I wore deodorant, I showered daily, I washed my clothes after every wearing. My boss did have THAT conversation with me, and started using cologne to cover it. Don’t think it fixed it but it covered it enough that I kept the job for a bit.

Eventually my mother, who I was living with, bought a new washer / dryer. My stinkiness factor went to effectively nothing. I’m pretty sure there was some mold/bacteria/whatever in the old washer that was causing the stink.

It may not be the stinky persons fault, and they may not even know what’s causing it.
