Guys, look. You guys don't know 90% of the shit that affects your life.



Here in Utah we conducted a study on mining practices of the 19th and 20th centuries and found that uncontrolled mining for a century and a half left levels of arsenic and lead in the water table to such a degree that ground water has 10x more arsenic and lead than is safe to drink. We traced it directly back to the mines, of which there are thousands. There is no doubt where it all came from.



That's just one thing. And I can tell you, nobody I've ever talked to who's not a fellow geologist knows jack shit about it. And that's just one thing! You cannot be informed of the tens of thousands of things which go on every day that impact your life. About how much company A's or company B's practices will shorten your lifetime by a year because they're leaching tiny bits of chemicals into the environment around your home.



And companies bank on you not being informed. They will shit up your life as much as they can get away with before people realize what they're doing and force them to stop. Saying you can use your pocketbook to force corrupt companies to heel is brain dead levels of ignorance and stupidity.



Are we to only regulate problems you're aware of?
