It's not about the subject matter, it's how you communicated the issue. Look at how you are talking, nothing but leftist talking points and smoke and mirrors.
Let's take a small business. A family wants to start an aluminum workshop. After getting lathes and presses and such, they also have to invest in systems and programs to deal with the lubricants and chemicals used to treat the metals. Now, I don't think they should be able to pour that shit down the drain, but forcing them to spend another 100% of the initial start-up cost on triple-redundant systems to prevents spills and leaks, training, certification, emergency plans, evacuation plans, HazMat training, filings with local government agencies concerning every last product in their shop, and the list goes on and on and on. ALL that regulating does is add another decimal point into the "environmental rating" of the business.
When instead of over-regulating, put in COMMON SENSE steps to prevent environmental damage that are 99.9% effective instead of 99.95%.
Instead, that person is going to outsource the work to China. Where there are no regulations on the types or amount of chemicals they can use in the processing of aluminum, nor are there are enforced regulations on what they do with the waste produced during whatever they are manufacturing. In the end, they end up causing 10x the environmental damage in China than they would have had the work been done in the US. That is the big point on preventing over-regulation.
