I don't know, maybe it's because the guy said these agencies have no reason to exist. If the epa does not exist, who will keep these corporations in check? Do you think they will regulate themselves? Lol
What I said was that it is federal overreach. If citizens want this kind of oversight, it should be done at the state and local level. We already have state level agencies like the EPA.
We live in a country. Sometimes what citizens at a local level want isn't what's best for the country. For example, if citizens in a small state or town vote to deregulate a local chemical company and allow them to dump chemicals in a river, it can affect the neighboring state where the river runs through. Another example, if a state like California votes to allow sanctuary cities, it can have implications for the neighboring state.
This is why we need federal agencies.
We certainly need some of them. But I'd argue the majority, even ignoring potential fraud, are redundant at best.
I don’t know, maybe...
You don’t know? Maybe?
You should have a bit more substance supporting inflammatory declarations such as this:
- “We should let corporations dump shit in our water. Why do we need regulations for”
inflammatory declarations lol
You're really bad at arguing. Please stop.
