The administration ended a program that documented excessive levels of a carcinogen at industrial facilities across the country. Environmental groups who say the move leaves polluted communities behind have filed suit.
This seems like the biggest stretch of the “national security” justification I’ve heard yet.
Is he planning to make the nation “secure” by making it so much of a shithole no one wants to go there?
The goal is to reduce the quality of life of the average US citizen to match the low quality of life in poor countries so our labor can “compete” in the market by vastly reducing our pay and purchasing power.
It’s part of why Trump is pushing the “return to manufacturing” angle so hard. He doesn’t want people in other countries being paid pennies a day to put together $300 Nike shoes, he wants people in the US being paid pennies a day to put together $300 Nike shoes.
I mean, it’s a long time coming. The wealthy have clearly thought for a long time that US workers are too coddled and demand too much and deserve far far less.
Who do they expect to buy their $300 shoes, then?
Unfortunately, they don’t think that far because them and theirs will be able to buy those shoes.
Right now something like 10% of Americans are doing around 50% of consumer spending. Back to feudalism for us!
Yeah he doesn’t get that the US is the consumer of those $300 sneakers and if he destroys our economy there wont be enough people to buy those sneakers and their value based on supply will crater without the demand.
Billionaires will only buy the sneakers once.
Intelligence is not one of his assets. And TBH, as long as him and his cronies make $$$, then don’t care who they take down.
Money Obsessed Persons are too stupid to understand cause and effect.
I mean, it’s not a biiig stretch. For well over a century, steel production has been classed as a matter of national security, to feed the American addiction to military hardware.
