Excuse me, your wording was vague. I don't know if that's passive aggressive or not, don't care.
Had you asked if they'd ever BEEN better regulated, I would have understood, and the answer to that question is YES.
As far back as even the first Bush administration, the blizzard of lawsuits PLUS EPA actions DID indeed cause more regulation, and the concrete plants began to reluctantly attempt at cleaning up their act.
Here's a helpful hint:
Midlothian concrete plant pollution
You'll find articles and links dating as far back as 1999, or earlier, and as recent as this month.
And my Trump reference still holds no matter what, because I simply said "willy nilly,
the way Trump is doing".
I didn't say that the Trump White House sent specific communications to the concrete plant operators in Midlothian with big block letters saying "Let her rip, boys!"...I just said that the
town of Midlothian is a study in the effects of "cutting regulations willy nilly".
And it is. It IS a study. The history of concrete plant pollution and sky high birth defects in that town
ARE a study in what happens when you cut regulations willy nilly - - THE WAY TRUMP IS DOING.
See if you can possibly understand the
ANALOGY. At this point, I think analogies and metaphors might be over your head, but try, won't you?
