Summary
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is bracing for major upheaval if Donald Trump returns to the presidency, with anticipated cuts to staff and environmental protections.
During his previous term, Trump rolled back over 100 environmental regulations, leading to staff departures and a weakened EPA.
Now, with plans under “Project 2025,” Trump allies aim to dismantle offices focused on environmental justice and pollution enforcement, prioritize loyalty in staffing, and potentially reverse Biden-era policies on PFAS, lead, and climate regulations.
EPA employees express heightened anxiety, fearing intensified ideological interference.
Seems stupid to get rid of pfa, and lead enforcement. That will affect even the dickheads who are repealing the laws.
They don’t care. They will be in the hospital dying of cancer and mail in their Trump vote.
Trump-brand cancer!
Not when you have money to mitigate or even remove problems. The 1% are a sheltered bunch. It’s like The Purge movies. The people that commoners would probably like to get to are the most protected by their money and what it can buy.
Lol no.
“You can just buy a different environment” is an immediately self-disproving statement.
Hah lol no. PFAS are so pervasive already that you get exposure from wind coming off the ocean at a beach. Only way the 1% can keep themselves safe from pollutants would be to buy hermetically sealed bunkers to live in and never come out. Oh wait, never mind…
