EPA Fines Drop 70% in 2017

[repoman0]

Also, it's funny how you're "thriving" when you were bragging about getting, what, $185 more per month through the tax plan? If you were thriving, $185 a month would be a rounding error on your monthly income.

LOL, so true. TardSpyder is such a typical republican peasant sucker who fancies himself one of the real rich who are actually “thriving.”

Yes, it’s odd how someone who appears to make a below average salary for people on this board keeps trying to brag about how much money he makes.

Today a corporation will fire you for not being PC enough. Ruining a river with pollution would be very non-PC.

It's telling you think this is funny.

 

[Puffnstuff]

Wow, what a difference one batshit President makes. This will have real and lasting health consequences for many Americans.

EPA will probably be staffed by Ray Charles for fy2019 and nobody will be fined. Trump's love of lawlessness is just too much.

This isn't even funny any more. The country already has enough yes men to co-sign any and all stupid shit that crosses the orange one's desk we don't need any more "I've seen the light" trolls... The delineation separating Trumps chode and SS mouth is getting harder to distinguish. But, but, but I'm a liberal. Rinse, wash, repeat...

I keep daydreaming about Scott Pruitt up in a dunking booth at the fair, only instead of water it's a heady combo of fracking fluid and crude.

 

[theeedude]

Maybe some folks in vintage cars should drive to Scott Pruitt's house and idle them for a few hours outside while he is home with family.

Here are just a few examples of the bad things the EPA has been up to that SlowSpider is glad the Trump administration is fixing. Good thing these companies will just do the right thing going forward for good PR. Just remember to wear your respirator.

The Department of Justice, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) announced a settlement today with Shell Chemical LP that each year will eliminate more than 150 tons of excess emissions of harmful air pollutants from Shell’s chemical plant located in Norco, Louisiana, in St. Charles Parish.

Under the consent decree, NCR will perform and fund the remaining contaminated sediment cleanup work at the Fox River Superfund site in Green Bay, Wisconsin at an estimated cost of over $200 million.

Trump states getting toxic chemicals dumped on them. Sad situation.

 

[ch33zw1z]

Slow trolls again.

 

[Puffnstuff]

Slow trolls again.

Nah its just the trickle down effect.

 

[zinfamous]

Probably a good thing. Trump wins again.

That's the kind of thinking that a leaded paint chip diet does for you. Good show.

All of this is coming from the Koch bros. It's like they have a direct connect to Scotty. Wonder why he needs a sound proof phone booth.

Aren't those pricks like 115? Billionaires who give $50 xmas tips for the help. These are the shits that want to replace taxes with charity.

We interviewed a guy who used to work as a doorman at 740 Park. I asked him to rank the tippers at the building, and he said the absolute worst was David Koch. He said he would get from him, every holiday season, a $50 check. I really found that appalling.

Big Oil is bigger than the Koch Bros.

Shame the fines are dropping. We'll be left holding the bag for Pruit's unnecessary first-class seating for his travels...

Show me once where I mentioned how much I make or bragged about it. Please, pull up the post.

 

[Thebobo]

I think the EPA serves a good purpose, but they can be pretty heavy handed. Like most government agencies, I think there is a lot of bloat there and am happy to see a rollback.

In a previous thread I asked you to provide an example of this so called EPA heavy handedness. You produced opinion and blog pieces from right ring rags. No scientific journals, in other words NOTHING.

Now hurry up, there is a free space on trump's ass right now if you hurry, which you will, suck on, my little troller.

No problem!

Bandwagon cheerleading... nice touch. And I'd say not at all. Watching a bunch of people, that quite possibly pay less into the system than I do, argue that I need to pay more in taxes has been entertaining for me and helps reaffirm things.

 

[SlowSpyder]

No problem!

I asked you to show me where I bragged about how much I made or mentioned how much I made. You've provided neither.

Lol. Whatever you need to tell yourself.

 

[Stokely]

And as an added bonus for the GOP, by the time people (mostly rural Trump voters) start developing the cancers and whatnot from whatever toxins companies feel free to now dump into streams (just like the good 'ol days), there will be plenty of time to pin it on the Democrats. My kids have cancer--thanks, Obama!

 

[blackangst1]

The problem with fines being backed down is it will encourage more companies to simply ignore EPA rules. Not good.

It's good for profits & that's all that matters in Republican Land.

You argued that you "probably pay more into the system" than most people here. You do understand that this expressly means that you claimed to make more than most, right? It's the exact same thing

Do you understand that? I'm wondering if you are willing to engage people with the same set of facts, the same rules for debate, or you simply don't care because you are an ignorant troll.
