I actually wouldn’t be surprised… In this case it’s more likely a call to Trump that went something like “heya fellow rapy, rich dude. Listen, I could afford a lot more new yachts if I didn’t have to pay for all this pesky nercury detection and filtering stuff, can you help me out by being your douchy self?”
That’s the thing, though: Removing that mercury filtration system is going to be expensive and require re-certification. There’s no point. The price has already been paid.
It’s like someone heard that mercury removal from coal power plants costs a lot of money and saves lives so they said to themselves, “saving lives‽ We can’t have that! The more people that die from pollution, the better!” And set policy based on that instead of examining the reality of the economics.
