The bans, largely at the state level, touch most facets of daily life, prohibiting everything from bisphenol in children’s products to mercury in personal care products to PFAS in food packaging and clothing.

The Trump Environmental Protection Agency move involves changing the way the agency carries out chemical risk evaluations, which would also pre-empt state laws that offer the one of few meaningful checks on toxic chemicals in consumer products.
I give up how do I even make sense out of this
You don’t
They’re relying on people giving up, because the tsunami of shit is just too much
They need the American people to be like the elephant chained to a tiny stake from a young age
It has worked. You accept things that the rest of the world find bewildering and abhorrent, because you feel like there’s nothing you can do
You die from easily treatable medical problems so that people can make a profit
Your children get shot in schools, and nothing happens apart from parents buying bulletproof backpacks
People are actively supporting someone who will make their lives worse, because he encourages their hate and bigotry, so they love him for it
America is already broken
The civilised world despises you, but we also pity you.
Personally, I hate the fact that the millions of decent people get fucked by the whims of the stupid, the hateful and those who just want to make money without caring about the consequences
