Buckle Up Buttercup. Get Ready To Be Sick More and Die Sooner

08/11/2018 2:38 PM

Air pollution emissions from U.S. manufacturing declined by 60 percent during 1990-2008, a period in which manufacturing output grew significantly. The emission reduction is largely attributed to federal environmental regulations and attendant adoption of cleaner production methods, according to University of California-Berkeley researchers.

The stringency of environmental regulation for manufacturing firms was shown to nearly double between 1990 and 2008. This increase, rather than improvements in manufacturing productivity or trade exposure, accounted for most of the decreases in pollution emissions.

Why Air Pollution from U.S. Manufacturing Declined During 1990-2008

Thanks to the current administration's environmental terrorists, all these safeguards are being revoked, solely in the name of greed!

Yeah fortunately there is no more manufacturing in the US due to previous administrations....so this really is a moot point....

ROFLMAO at that lame comment.

So imposing BILLIONS of dollars of childish, vindictive, destructive tariffs and decimating environmental protections for air, water, auto pollution and pick a subject, while sucking up to dictators will "Make America Great Again"? No, it will make America poorer than it has ever been.

Check for yourself how many companies are closing or moving offshore due to these destructive tariffs!

Unfair trade practices have been set against the US for years....

..." "If we charge a country ZERO to sell their goods, and they charge us 25, 50 or even 100 percent to sell ours, it is UNFAIR and can no longer be tolerated. That is not Free or Fair Trade, it is Stupid Trade!""...POTUS

..."The US’s new trade barriers are designed to penalize China for doing things like forcing foreign businesses to hand over their most prized technology to Chinese companies — many of which are state-owned — in exchange for access to their market."...

China has been blackmailing American companies and stealing our technology for years, and nobody has done anything about it until now....anybody who shops Ebay knows the Chinese have been flooding our markets with fake goods, claiming they are real and genuine for years....Ripping off America has become a national pastime in China....

https://www.vox.com/world/2018/7/6/17542482/china-trump-trade-war-tariffs

...plus they have a history of selling toxic products to us...to name a few

"Lumber Liquidators (LL - Get Report) is just the latest in a string of companies to take heat over the safety of their China-imported products."

..."Toy maker Mattel (MAT - Get Report) issued a recall of nearly one million toys due to lead paint dangers -- and that wasn't even the biggest recall of the year. Thomas train manufacturer Rc2 recalled 1.5 million trains and accessories from a Chinese supplier that were coated in lead paint. One million pounds of what the Associated Press called "suspect Chinese seafood" arrived on American shelves that year, causing panic. Nearly half a million radial tires were hauled in after a New Jersey company disclosed its Chinese manufacturer had discontinued a safety feature that prevented the tires from coming apart."...

..."China seems not only to make everything, it fakes just about everything as well.

Charles Scholz is a genuine, fake buster. As the Asia director for the security consulting firm, Kroll Associates, he is hired by international corporations to root out and help shut down the counterfeiters.

When inspecting a pair of ski gloves with a North Face label emblazoned prominently, Scholz determined, "The tag is real, the product is not." Not only would these gloves not keep you dry, "If you buy this, you get soaked."

Chinese counterfeiting now costs foreign firms an estimated $20 billion a year in lost profits. "In the case of one consumer goods manufacturer, as much as 70 percent of the goods on the market are counterfeits," said Scholz."...

Do you know-

  • How many companies have closed or moved offshore due to new tariffs?
  • How many BILLIONS of dollars in new tariffs have been collected?
  • What percent of the 60 percent decline in air pollution emissions have been reversed?
  • Which research reports substantiate these "facts"?

On the contrary, my reading is that the decline continues. Can you disprove that?

It’s lyns liberal hate towards his ‘not my president’. Statistics

has nothing to do with Lyn, Lyn will just look towards his liberal rags to find statistics to match his own views...

Surprisingly, Mueller stepped in to straighten out buzzfeed fake news,... Lyn would have jumped all over that. Mueller must be concerned about the next Supreme Court justice pick.

It amazes me how quickly people have forgotten the closed door meetings between Obama and Putin, not to mention Obama taking a knee (the first and hopefully only time a US president does so) and kissed the Saudi's A$$. Trump is enforcing laws enacted by previous administrations and is suffering the abuse for doing so.

I don't agree with everything that he's doing but don't fault the guy for trying to make the field even. We as a nation have been dumped on by the entire world for decades and now we're tired of it.

And, "we" are acting like spoiled, playground bullies while we're doing it.

Only complete fools believe that these tariffs are anything but the move of a demented, juvenile, wanna-be dictator.

READ THE CONSTITUTION! Do you all agree that freedom of speech, and expression, is only OK when the dictator-in-chief says it is?

If you were in the service, didn't you swear to defend and uphold the ENTIRE Constitution, or only those parts Trump likes?

Do you all agree that kidnapping babies at the border and separating them, some for life, for life from their parents is humane? These people chose to try instead of die. You would too!

We'll see how these "great" actions of your leader work out over time.

The separation of families at borders began years ago (as it has been done in other countries for years). I've worked within our government for well over 20 years and can attest to this. It has only come to light now to be used to attack the current administration. If we take the time to look into this issue we will find that these families are being separated for safety reasons. Many of these children don't belong to the coyotes who are illegally bringing them across the borders. Only children who are found to be traveling with criminals (and repeat offenders) are being kept apart after investigation. We then find their families, either here in the states or back home in Mexico, and reunite them.

wrong again... and guess what, because that’s what your good at doing, but bad at being accurate, the tariffs are still on.

See the difference between leaders and wannabes.

Because some people who go through life with blinders, don’t.

Easy, the leader is showing respect to a fellow leader while on that leader's home turf.

The wannabe doesn't know what it means to give respect to others, even though he demands loyalty from other people.

The problem with your ‘analysis’ is submission is not showing respect,

Here’s a reason to stand your ground. Get the picture?

Also, don’t confuse ‘loyalty’ with ‘competence’.

You want to talk about "respect"?

How many world leaders stated that they "respected" then-President Obama, versus how many state that they "respect" current *resident Trump?

Let's even compare Republicans to Republicans, what is Trumps standing among world leaders compared to the standings of Bush, either Bush, W or H.W?

And it's clear to see the difference between loyalty and competence: those who stick with the current regime in the White House are showing loyalty, but their actions betray their lack of competence.

Sure when trump first took office, I’d agree with you. With all the thinks Trump was saying... about controlling imagration and you have to protect the border... every leader laughed at this orange hair clown...

then Europe find they have to control the surge of immigrates on their Borders.

allot has to do with the Fake News that started it and continues to this day Ali g with the minion that parrot it.

Or how about his foreign policies... odd how is that turning out, from the media narritives.

the thing is,... you listen to the news what is bias. tell me what Poland (not fake News) thinks of this president.

as far as respect, past administration bought and paid for respect the respect that’s really insincere with respect amounting to nothing more than lip service if your lucky...

With Trump, all he wants is a ‘fair deal’. Europe’s leaders aren’t used to that, it and what you get is... they ridicule Trump and anyone that even remotely supports him.

something like this...

No respect?, really?,... problem is,... it’s been such a long time of compitulation and then passing it off as diplomacy, that when someone actually steps forward and leads... it’s not recognized at the time.

So imposing BILLIONS of dollars of childish, vindictive, destructive tariffs and decimating environmental protections for air, water, auto pollution and pick a subject,

What a drama queen... Tariffs was the only thing left to get fair trade deals... everthing else was giving away by previous administrations.

Decimating environmental protections... that's be going on for a long time, most by incompetency, put in place by as incompetent administration... you head isn't were it should be.

Check for yourself how many companies are closing or moving offshore due to these destructive tariffs!

And when you have is pull out of where ever it is, Check for yourself about the increase of investment of domestic steel production. And it ancillary equipment to supper it. of smelters...

Speaking of which,... Aluminum production dropping in this country because of the environmental overreach from previous administration (now you'll cry I brought politics in it, we both know it was you because in your mind, you're exempt to justify yourself )

They move off-shore because of the high energy costs to smelt aluminum the producers were moving off-shore.... and that's changing.

So listen here 'Buttercup' you can't have it both ways to the extreme,... you have to find the middle between Environmental and Industry. And stop crying 'The Environment,... The Off-Shoring' political statement rants.

"But for the EPA and its supporters, the memos simply bring the agency back to what the relevant laws and regulations are meant to be." (my emphasis)

http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/383661-trumps-epa-quietly-revamps-rules-for-air-pollution

How dare the Trump administration require that the laws be enforced as they are written, rather than what the radical environmentalists want them to be!

The EPA, like many federal agencies, has had a serious case of 'mission creep', where - having solved the problems and created the proper rules and regulations years ago - decided it needed to justify its continued existence by creating ever-tighter regulations that produced nothing except paperwork and its related costs for the industries regulated and for the EPA and its lawyers to process.

These regulations often were created with no scientific backing, merely the whim of some bureaucratic thinking that if a level of 1 part per million of something could be met in 1980, then 1 part per billion could be met in 2010. Regardless of whether 1 part per billion had any net improvement in safety or not.

That delicious air you are breathing has the smell of freedom.

Plainly put, your post simply says that industries that were once required to clean up their known unhealthy, but profitable, toxic pollution mess, will again be allowed to pollute the environment at will, all for money.

They either wrote these rollback regulations themselves or their paid lobbyists did it, after bribing the unethical people is Congress to allow it.

I find this statement,"That delicious air you are breathing has the smell of freedom." offensive!

That disgusting air I am breathing has the smell of bribery and corruption!

Wow, you really can overstate something....some might consider it lying...In any case it is clearly an attempt to mislead people....it won't work here...

...."Pruitt has taken aim at just about every major Obama-era EPA rule, which has made him a pariah on the left, a hero on the right and the bureaucratic face of Trump’s vocal advocacy for fossil-fuel interests and other industrial polluters. But so far he’s only managed to delay a few rules that hadn’t yet taken effect. His supporters, critics and boss have all promoted the perception that he’s repealed Obama’s environmental legacy and shredded America’s environmental rulebook—and no one has promoted that perception more energetically than Pruitt, who frequently sued Obama’s EPA when he was Oklahoma’s attorney general. Nevertheless, that perception is wrong.

Pruitt’s problem is that major federal regulations are extremely difficult and time-consuming to enact, and just as difficult and time-consuming to reverse. The rulemaking process can take years of technical and administrative work that Pruitt and his team have not yet had time to do. And even if Pruitt manages to keep his job long enough to complete that process for any of his efforts to weaken clean-air and clean-water rules, the EPA will inevitably face years of litigation over each one. The old saying that it’s easier to tear down a barn than to build one does not really apply to rules limiting pollutants like ozone, coal ash, mercury and methane."...

We'll see where it all ends.

At one time, air was invisible, water was crystal clear and cars almost didn't emit poisons and still got 30 MPG.

People who have never worked a day in their lives and can't shop for their own groceries or know the smell of gasoline should not tell us how we should live.

Like I said, buckle up! It's gonna get bumpy.

SolarEagle, Usbport, Zvi, not so smart, and you especially, lrsheldon, you are all supreme hypocrites!

Where was your righteous indignation when Barack Obama, who has a law degree from Harvard and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004, who is married to his ONLY wife who is a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School, was doing all these dastardly deeds to wreck America?

Why did you not speak out when the "damage" was being done? Did you complain when the stock market started its upward march in 2009 and gained 140% so far? How will you explain the downward trend that the "Wonderful" trump tariffs seem to be causing in the earliest stages of his tantrum?

Is Canada REALLY a national security risk????

Was Obama EVER caught with a prostitute? How many times has he had a business fail that cost investors millions in losses? Trump has had six that we know of. Are his kids hopeless losers who ride on daddy's imaginary wealth, like trumps?

Why will NO AMERICAN bank loan Trump money?? Deutsch Bank has loaned him over a BILLION dollars> Seem strange to you? Do you know where that money comes from?

How to you explain the ONE TRILLION DOLLAR STOCK BUY-BACK that is a direct result of his "wonderful" tax gift to billionaires? Remember, your pittance (already eaten up by gas prices and inflation) will go POOF in eight years..

The National Debt is over $21 TRILLION for the first time ever and climbing at a record pace, is that Obama's fault too?? No Trump did it! I know it, you know it, we all know it.

With that in mind, and knowing that we're never likely be on the same side of this subject, I'll be removing myself from this post and not looking back. It's getting entirely too political ( and a bit mean spirited ). I do look forward to reading many more of your posts and learning from you, my respected (cyber) friend.

Why are they hypocrites??? You started this thread with your view, they countered with an opposing view. It's called point and counter point. They are absolutely entitled to their views, as you are. My view differs from yours for sure, but I won't argue with you about it nor will I tell you how wrong your opinion is just because it differs from mine.

There are 3 sides to every story, yours, mine and the truth somewhere in the middle.

Peace!

I won't explain my words. It would not matter to anyone who is firmly under the spell of that person, as most here seem to be.

History is repeating itself right here, right now in America.

One only has to look back to Germany in the 1940's to see the parallel.

Here's what the current "president's" coal burning plan WON'T DO that the former president's plan that everybody hates would have:

It WON'T avert 3,600 premature deaths, 90,000 asthma attacks in children, and 1,700 heart attacks each year.

You make it sound like a political contest,...ok then,...Let’s see, 3,600+90,000+1,700=95,300

Here what the current “presidents” plan will do if/when implemented to make up for that.

it will prevent 638,169 deaths due to abortion that would never have had the chance for life, because others, like yourself, decided their fate for them.

Of course for you, you don’t see that as a problem, I beg to differ.

but I digress...
