It's common. People would rather work in a Wal-Mart as it is more social and less demanding. The physical space is nicer.

Exactly. I left high school over abuse. Another student spent the whole period sitting next to me staring at me muttering about how he was going to tie me up in the middle of the desert, and all the things he was going to shove up my ass, serious serial killer vibes, and the teacher just acted helpless, despite seeing everything. When they started stalking me after school, and it started getting physical, and the school did nothing, I left.

Thankfully that level of toxicity did not follow into the workplace, but I did have a car vandalized by a coworker.

Truth be told I was a bit of a punk, and had a knack for pissing off the wrong people. We all have our flaws, but nobody deserved what I went through. I'm a man now, not the insecure boy who tried to act like he was better than others to compensate, and I reject toxicity immediately. No room for it.

Hardly nano scale shaped fibers, are they?

And btw, silicosis from weathering sand is a thing.

And that becomes a common constraint in commercializing new antimicrobial and antiviral products.

It’s always great to see more methods of microorganism control - but the challenge here is that the same mechanism likely kills many other microorganisms. Testing it to see that it is ‘safe’ in other settings is expensive and time consuming.
