so on one side we have the oil industry, steel industry, mining industry, logging industry , coal industry, chemical industry, paper industry, etc, etc., making tons of profits and pouring that money into lobbying, so they can dump hazardous chemicals into streams and rivers, or emit them into the air. In your world those are the "good guys."
and on the other side we have an underfunded federal agency that sets rules that protect the general public. In your world those are the "bad guys"
Yes i know the epa did such great job especially when they polluted the colorado river...
Yeah, when cleaning up a mining operation. The sort of mining operation that you want the EPA to be unable to regulate. Why do you think there were hazardous materials there to begin with?
And how much pollution does the EPA prevent from private firms, cities, states, and other branches of the government? Do you have any clue?

That was a private contractor. And obviously the toxic materials wouldn't have been there if the mining had been kept under control with good environmental regulation. The mining company was really responsible for that mess being there in the first place. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/17/u...iver.html?_r=0
Trump will achieve common sense environmental protection without the bloated bureaucracy. He's got kids and grand kids and isn't going to take us back to the Robber Barron days. This is simply addressing administration continuity and if employees there don't like it they are welcome to leave. Personally I would love to see people who break this directive get fired.

I have no problem with common sense good environmental regulations. Its when they start issuing ridiculous and insane regulations.
And suspending the EPA's social media activity accomplishes this ... how?
I guess we will find out eventually if it does or not.
