It was easy enough for Congress to pass the Federal Analogue Act because drugs. DuPont has a lot of money to pay for lobbyists.
It’s incredibly frustrating, because they’re doing this chemical shuffle right out in the open and the government isn’t doing shit about it. They’ve been bad faith actors for decades, so when they come out with something new, they should be forced to pay for independent testing with open results.
And DuPont knows the shoe is dropping for some of their older chemicals, that’s why they spun off Chemours: it gets all the IP and the problematic history, so if the government ever does get its shit together, Chemours goes bankrupt and DuPont stays solvent. It’s maddening.
