If you are hurt by arsenic you can sue the person who harmed you. I’m glad we are entering an era of massive deregulation, to reverse the endless strangulation of American society by a bloated, metastatic, parasitic regulatory state that has (thus far) only grown and never shrank. You can hear the shrieks from DC as their cushy $160k make work jobs are going to end.

That really doesn't work, especially where harm is diffuse to the wider environment.

  If we're leaning towards dominating our thoughts towards cases of people being deaded,the ATF has literally burned dozens of children alive to enforce alcohol/tobacco/firearms regulations. So that's not an argument in favor of the ATF regulating this.

I don't think the ability to engage in a class action lawsuit is much of a benefit when you have arsenic poisoning (as in your life is ruined and you got like $30k). Let's be real, the company and company leadership will face zero legal consequences and this psychotic behavior will become widespread with no real consequences.

That's extremely regressive. Lawsuits cost money. Better to not have arsenic exposure to begin with. We all need these regulations to prevent injury.

It took 14 years before Exxon paid any money for the Exxon Valdez disaster. Suing is largely now for the rich. Things can be delayed so long that the people only get a pittance when factoring in inflation and opportunity costs.
