Hmm, imagine that. Big Business lobbies against regulation to increase profits by smearing science and hiring “experts” that dispute facts. Examples: Leaded gas, cigarettes, and now climate change. We really are going backwards!

Yes, and Andrew Wheeler at the EPA has a dartboard in his office with Wiley's picture superimposed.

Well, that was kind of disgusting to read. 😑

I'm sure his 8 robot masters had a hand in it as well.

This book is filled with amusing and alarming illustrations. Kid's candy coated with lead is one of many disturbing items.

This is one reason we need government regulations. Trump is removing our protections to let corporations hurt us for profit.

Must be spinning right now.
