Good college starter
Re: Trump Administration Rolls Back Clean Water Protections
It's funny how he rushes to ban vaping after 6 people die, but has no problems with people drinking contaminated water and breathing polluted air.

Good. He needs to put in place a MAO like plan so we can get rid of the dead weight in this country. MAGA!
Also, stick to talking about the Pacers, OP.

Well, we know what communities are the most impacted by this don't we? Definitely not anywhere he frequents. The communities he's terrified of.

And the current regulations were harmful to farming and rural communities - communities you and the Obama administration don't care about.
The current regulations were draconian and nonsensical. Good Trump for rolling them back. Made by bureaucrats in Washington who have probably never been on a farm before.

In 2012, the Army Corps of Engineers, working in conjunction with the EPA, accused Duarte of damaging wetland features on his property. He was hit with $30 million in fines and restoration fees.
Duarte's troubles stemmed from a 2015 provision in the Clean Water Act known as the Waters of the United States rule that was meant to better protect large bodies of water by regulating use of the streams, ponds, and ditches that flow into them. The EPA has used this provision to micromanage private land use.

Re: Trump Administration Rolls Back Clean Water Protections
Notice that the argument isn't "these rules don't actually help keep our water free of toxins," but rather, "these rules are financially burdensome."
If farmers are going to continue to use some of the chemicals that have been of major concern as they find their way to drinkable water sources, it would be in their best interests to form an association to fight the inevitable lawsuits they will be seeing over the next 20 to 30 years. In the long run, this has the potential to end up being more expensive for them and far more deleterious for those who access water for adjacent regions.
