I hear this shit everyday. Just once I would like someone tl list a single EPA regulation and why it is a bad regulation. Because I remember the hot summer days that the air was unsafe to breathe. The record number of children and seniors that were hospitalize with breathing difficulties. And the number that died. I would like to know why people's health and lifes are considered to be worthless by corporations and Republicans.
You've never visited a place without the equivalent of the EPA, have you?
Okay, but the trade off is that you will be breathing in shit, drinking shit in your water, and walking around in shit outside, and your tap water will be flammable. And don't worry about a little bit of radiation, it won't hurt you much.
And of course if any of this stuff makes you sick, you are on your own for health care.
The EPA was proposed by President Richard Nixon and began operation on December 3, 1970. I know people who were in the US previous to 1970. They said the country was a poverty disaster and without industrial might. Since 1970 the nation has awoke from it's pre-1970 dark ages and became an employment and industrial giant that the FF is having to take down.
No, pre 1970, the pollution was terrible. You could see the air in Pittsburgh. A river in Cleveland caught fire. There were die offs of fish and birds. Something had to be done.
What happened next is that our industrial overlords decided to find other, Third World countries to pollute rather than to bother trying to comply with pollution standards.
You should visit China, where the poor will pay for China's economic miracle for the next thousand years with their lives and their health while still remaining poor.

The EPA needs dismantled for overstepping it's bounds and attempting to bankrupt the nation with stupid regulations that they think are dumb, but still want to hire I think around 30,000 people to ensure we follow them.
