When they say they want smaller government this is what they mean. Less regulation

[–] F_State@midwest.social 2 points 4 hours ago

And fewer people in the decision making processes. Being farther right then Democrats, they believe in a smaller, more exclusive ruling elite. Liberals believe in Rules but Right Wingers put their faith in Leadership.

Something about exposure immunity

RFK probably

Idk when people started listening to crackheads

He was a heroine addict for over 10 years. I get that drug addicts can reform themselves but I don’t think they should be running our government.

You're obviously a far left radical!

[–] F_State@midwest.social 6 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Total pinko. Red blooded Americans only swim in a patriotic mix of sewage and industrial effluent

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Put you asbestos swimming gear on, and jump in!

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

That's the spirit!

More like we got tired of our kids swimming in per and polyfluoroalkyl substances, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, lead, chromium, benzene, toluene, xylene, ddt, glyphosate, organophosphates, atrazine, polychlorinated biphenyls, nitrates, phosphates, plastic garbage, etc

Almost like time and time again corporations have shown that if you do not explicitly force them to safely dispose of hazardous waste they will simply dump it in public waterways where it will eventually seep into the soil and even if it doesn’t it will persist for potentially thousands of years

It is probably the biggest public health problem, and each instance is just to save a buck at the expense of premature deaths and chronic health problems.

It will be getting a whole lot worse here the rules are gone, ignored, changed, flouted.

There is currently a problem in the uk–particularly London where all the sewage us just dumped in waterways and there's literally no clean water in the country.

[–] Egonallanon@feddit.uk 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

With the completion if the Thames tideway tunnel that opens this year there's expected to be something like a 90%+ drop off in untreated sewage entering the Thames from London.

You people still havent figured out proper sewers have you? God damn island savages dont have the good sense god gave a dog. Someone should really bring you civilization someday. Not that I'd expect it to be accepted other than at gun point.

[–] Egonallanon@feddit.uk 2 points 9 hours ago

What do you mean our water system is nearly perfect. It provides fantastic shareholder value for all sorts of investment organisations and private equity firms. It's the envy of the world over.

I feel really fortunate to live near a wastewater treatment plant. When the clean, treated water comes out it tastes like fresh spring water

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)
[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

i guess my point is it's a solvable problem and the output water is a lot better than you would assume. you just have to get used to the idea

[–] Cassanderer@thelemmy.club -5 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

It is not fresh spring water jesus christ. You do know..., nevermind. Water treatment plant water bad, you have been warned.

[–] F_State@midwest.social 2 points 10 hours ago

Way better than raw untreated sewage

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yes I will take the word of random internet user over the engineers who designed and work at the plant.

[–] bagsy@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

"Fuck those kids, what about the shareholders?"

-- DJT probably

[–] Toes@ani.social 8 points 1 day ago

Exactly just buy a pool.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 15 points 23 hours ago

Only the poors. We have backyard pools! USA USA USA!

Born, hired, disposed

Where that job lands, everybody knows

You can tell by the smile on the CEO

Environmental restraints are about to go
