Every single person Trump instilled as the head of a department is extremely unqualified and has the single goal of dismantling their department.
Every single one.
Pain, agony even. Torture, if you will.
The companies that turned our planet into a microplastic nightmare will surely regulate themselves bc market.
We need to organize, like yesterday, and fight to bring down these monsters.
I love the smell of General Strike
I’m old enough to remember American cities with large smog clouds hanging over them during the summer.
Looks like we’re actually stupid enough as a nation to bring that back.
Loser country.
waterways too were not great. this just confirms we are trying to be like china/india while they are trying to be like europe.
Administrator of environmental protection agency announces agency no longer protecting environment, will now be simply referred to as the environmental agency.
They should cut to the chase and form The Ministry of Truth, the Ministry of Peace, the Ministry of Love, and the Ministry of Plenty
You mean the Exploitation Protection Agency?
Mental Agency
can’t wait for 2030 when the street wear scene starts incorporating respirators, that’d be kinda fire
He says that instead of regulating the environment with bureaucrats he is going to have partnerships with polluting industry business owners who will do what is in the public’s best interest at lower cost. Instead of using science, they are going to rely on talk show hosts, social media, religious leaders and other more reliable pundits. Scientists are geeks and can’t be trusted.
Lovely. I’ve always wished for more lead in my air.
One of my favorite graphics of something horrible.
Leaders Leading the Lead Renaissance…
You know what’s interesting about this is that it also shows that lead has a lasting effect. The initial 1:1 drop was probably people who had levels that were affecting them for a shorter amount of time (basically younger) and the remainder were older people.
What is the ratio now in 2024 vs 2011?
I couldn’t find a clean and easy graphic showing that, but a quick Google search for “lead poisoning crime rates” unearthed a few recent studies and articles, including a few on the NIH website. It really sucks how there’s a strong residual in the crime rates even when lead concentration drops. Really shows how permanent and contagious the damage really is. Pandora’s box is lined with lead.
But the real environmental reg rollback was the lead in our hearts.
I wish I could do that in my job “I have decided to roll back my responsibilities… But not my pay of course”.
Lost me at “climate change religion”.
Look here, GOP. Deregulation does not have a great track record, and is as challenging to implement as the regulations you’re trying to skirt!
Potential risks and challenges
- Increased Risk of Misconduct: Reduced regulatory oversight may create additional opportunities for financial misconduct, requiring enhanced internal controls.
- Compliance Complexity: Deregulation often leads to a more complex regulatory environment as institutions navigate evolving federal frameworks alongside increasingly divergent state obligations.
- Product Innovation Risks: Periods of regulatory transition may encourage the development of products or services with limited regulatory guidance, potentially increasing future compliance exposure.
- Uneven Oversight: Changes to regulatory structures, particularly regarding non-bank financial services providers, may create competitive imbalances and necessitate enhanced oversight of institutional partnerships.
- Reputational Risk: Compliance failures in any regulatory environment can significantly damage an institution’s reputation and erode customer trust.
Does this mean small trucks will make a comeback?
EPA, I wonder what that stands for.
Environmentalist Persecution Agency. Duh.
Doge will replace it with X, which doesn’t make sense, like nothing what elmo does.
And the A for an O.
EXO will work on getting billionaires and workslaves to mars.
But first, it will make planet earth uninhabitable.
The P stands for plunder.
GOP Choke Mind Virus kicks into high gear!!!
