If the Supreme Court lets it stand. Reminder: executive agencies don’t have deference to independently interpret laws like the Clean Drinking Water Act anymore, so this new rule will stand until someone decides to challenge it, and until a court decides they’d rather continue poisoning future generations instead of allowing the experts to do their jobs, which is something SCOTUS would apparently prefer.
Literally EVERY red state will sue to keep those pipes.
I mean, obviously not all of them, the rich neighborhoods will have their shit fixed quick, but damned if Tennessee will spend good money to fix pipes going to those people.
I assume the rich neighborhoods will have already have had their pipes replaced, in which case it would only be those people who are affected. Not that I have anything to back that suspicion up.
Lead make stupid. Stupid make right votes.
Which is why it's absolutely essential to elect enough Democrats in the Senate to enable court expansion.
From what I understand this election cycle is not favorable to that whatsoever. If I recall correctly we might even lose the Senate :(
The Senate is absolutely a very tough lift; it's going to be really tough for the Democrats to get even 50 seats.
But who will vote for the Republicans if they do this‽
Don't worry, it's not the lead that make Americans stupid.
That's definitely SOME of it...
Yeah. We don't have lead in our pipes and we have plenty of cookers
Unfortunately, we do have twitter and Facebook though
Thank you President Biden. The infrastructure guy.
🎶JOE BIDEN THE INFRASTRUCTURE GUY! JOE! JOE! JOE!🎵

What was that quote? Americans will always do the right thing, after trying every other options.
It’s crazy how shitty my parents end of the Boomers are at taking care of the country. It’s almost as if they’re completely incompetent (they are). They got the shit beat out of them by banks, petrochemical companies and religious weirdos.
