How many residents of Michigan drink bottled water and voted for a President who wants to slash the EPA?

That's not a very accurate picture.
- The big problem in Michiganistan is in Flint.
- The EPA wasn't involved because this was a city & state screw-up involving water sourcing & treating.
- Lead in water is a problem which began long long ago with lead pipes & lead solder.
It's a problem all across the country.
- We've made great progress getting lead out of gasoline, except in private planes.

Time to get out the vote I think...

My vote is pretty much obsolete. But I guess what is ethical to some may not be ethical to others. Not to sound negatively un-optimistic but It seems that further deregulation may possibly be a continuing trend

maybe the loss of argument that determies ethics that creates regulations is a good thing . Maybe the modern world needs less regulation or sets of ethics

Maybe less regulation which means less accountability is a good thing

Maybe we need less laws

Interesting thoughts...I believe regulations are sometimes an accumulation of protections that people in good conscience don't need. It is like an ever growing mountain of assertions that punish some, satisfy many but teach nothing.

Care to expand on what you mean?

politicians and regulators looked the other way when the harrowing opioid crisis began to depopulate america.

poor Michigan children, who were touted for their excellent intellectual skills, drank deadly lead tainted water that caused them to have irreversible brain development disabilities.


with this being just a few example of many crises, when do you think america lost its moral compass?

And do you think that one is being too optimistic to think that ethics will be implemented in the future? Or does America have the possibility to establish a moral compass that assures fair justice, opportunity, due process and human rights? with everything be deregulated with loopholes and business influence enthralled, is there a possibility to even consider ethics?

i wrote this on purpose. i am not trying to be an intellectual so excuse unedited grammar
