Being able to hide your bullshit for a few years until it’s established being a way of avoiding a much harder process to win for you is bonkers.
Allowing businesses to create known health risks by illegally operating and then saying “well it isn’t new NOW” is idiotic and a horrible outcome.
- Teever 3y agoIsn't it crazy that the government can outlaw marijuana for decades start a 'war' against anyone who tries to consume it or produce/distribute it for business purposes, but it just can't seem to regulate this kind of shit? How come there can be green teams jackbooting grow rooms but there can't be a PFAS team jackbooting factories spewing known toxic substances into the environment?
- krapp 3y agoThe war on drugs - marijuana specifically - is a war against the black community, as was admitted by Nixon's domestic policy chief[0]. Meanwhile, DuPont, 3C and other companies spend multiple millions of dollars on lobbying, political donations and bribery to ensure favorable laws and lax regulation. See the decision from the court in TFA - the concern for business overrides concern for public health. It isn't crazy, it's just America. White supremacy and capitalism will always be the priority.

- wredue 3y agoStopping corporations from ravaging the only planet we have to live on and exposing millions to carcinogenic compounds vs the war on drugs is completely apples and oranges. I seriously hope that your evaluation of these scenarios is based on the reality of their individual outcomes rather than “gubment bad durr”
- Teever 3y agoYou misunderstand. I'm commenting on the fact that it's totally legal and feasible to do the war on drugs but when it comes time to muster that same kind of force against actual poisons being spewed into our environment all sorts of people trickle out of the woodwork to say that it's unconstitutional, infeasible, an overreach of power etc...
- wredue 3y agoI did misunderstand. Sorry.
- bhelkey 3y agoIf an agency can regulate new processes and the agency creates a rule in 2014[1], the rule applies to processes created or changed on or after 2014. In the same way, if a law requires backup cameras on new cars, the law applies to new cars not to a 1990 Lincoln.

- bhelkey 3y agoThe role of legislature is to create the law. The role of the courts is to interpret the law. If an agency wants to expand it's purview, it is the job of the legislative branch to change the law.
