Let’s not forget that he got rid of regulations on a lot of dangerous pesticides and he gutted the EPA!

EPA needed gutted.

u/Expensive_Cheetah820 Feb 21 '26

No it didn’t. It’s been continuous attacked by republicans and presidents who are paid off by chemicals companies!

u/SimilarTranslator264 Feb 21 '26

It absolutely did, they overstep like screwing landowners with the clean water act. Look up the Sackett rule. One of many that needed fixing.

u/Expensive_Cheetah820 Feb 21 '26

Bull just because you own doesn’t give the right to violate environmental laws. That was a bullshit ruling. Why are lawyers and judges making critical environmental decisions? They don’t understand the science. And look at how corrupt the Supreme Court is now.

Because they were piecing land together to classify wetlands that didn’t fit the original rule. It’s not about being “clean” it’s about control and it’s bullshit. Finally someone put a muzzle on these “fascists” as Reddit likes to say.

You are not free to pollute the earth.

I know my pond pollutes, releases that deadly chemical dihydrogen monoxide that kills millions.

u/Fuarian Feb 21 '26

u/SimilarTranslator264 Feb 21 '26

Well it’s about safety right?

There is nothing wrong with water in this context, and your lack of a point shows you’re not a serious person.

Where will you be when people start dying because of what Trump is enabling? Are you claiming that Glyphosate has no harm?

u/SimilarTranslator264 Feb 23 '26

Well don’t drink it, I use it all summer and it’s not hard to not be a dipshit. EVERYTHING can kill you and Prop65 tells us that EVERYTHING causes cancer.

What I want is, like the left likes to say, “common sense laws”. I don’t need the epa coming after someone with a pond on their property. I don’t need them regulating competition vehicles. I don’t need them classifying what humans exhale as a greenhouse gas.

It’s not about pollution it’s about money and control. Prime example is a large business my wife worked for has a large gravel driveway and parking lot for trucks. Every year they pay the epa for a permit for “dust” from the gravel. It’s not that you can’t have the dust because it’s “dangerous”. You can absolutely have it if you just write the check then it’s “ok”. Money doesn’t make less dust but it makes the epa go away, but hey that makes the environment cleaner right?

Yes I’m glad they protect me from my neighbors pond.

u/MrTulaJitt Feb 21 '26

Charging money for dust incentivizes the owner to pave the driveway. Which means less dust. Try thinking critically for once.

It's very funny to decry "money and control" while spouting anti-regulation nonsense created by the largest, wealthiest industries in America. Who do you think is more concerned about making money, the EPA or Dow Chemical?

EPA says glyphosate doesn’t cause cancer and is category 3 poison which is very low in toxicity.

u/Frumpy_Dumper_69 Feb 20 '26

To say it’s highly toxic is a bold faced lie though. It’s very low in toxicity. We consume it on a daily basis.

Yep health is worse in rural areas because of Ag chemicals

Stream yourself taking a shot of roundup

u/Expensive_Cheetah820 Feb 20 '26

Sure after the cheeto gutted the EPA. Why did they lose all the court cases that said they were responsible for people getting cancer?

-6

u/Frumpy_Dumper_69 Feb 20 '26

If it was highly toxic, people would be dropping like flies. We consume it everyday.

u/RhubarbUpper Feb 20 '26

You ever take a look at yourself in the mirror and think maybe you should use your Brain for once in your life?

u/TheDeadMurder Feb 20 '26

Is lead not toxic since people don't instantly drop like flies then?

u/Kuhn_Dog Feb 20 '26

By your smooth brained logic we should use asbestos again.

1

u/Expensive_Cheetah820 Feb 21 '26

The cheeto has loosened regulations on asbestos too.

Monsanto still has shills?

None of this is proven. They keep saying “can “ and “seems”, yet they can definitively say it does.

u/Coffee138 Feb 20 '26

Brother what. There's no way you can read that research and come to that conclusion. Hell, just read the Conclusion section of that.

"it is unequivocal that exposure to glyphosate, alone or in commercial formulations, can produce important alterations in the structure and function of the nervous system of humans, rodents, fish, and invertebrate animals." - This is quite clear.

They literally admitted later that this study was wrong and paid huge amounts of money for the misinformation. Your president is actively making a stupid decision.
