Well…over the years, repub governors in red states have not seen a regulation they didn’t hate and have spent a lot of time and effort doing industry’s bidding in getting rid of just about any regulation that would protect the people of their states if it would cost business even one thin dime…and we can see the results in Texas where some chemical plant or other explodes almost every week and a cold spell costs consumers there thousands of dollars each with their deregulated electricity market. Just today, we see another effect of that blind allegiance to deregulation with the declaration of a state of emergency in Florida with a retention lake filled with radioactive waste starting to collapse as the owners of the company walked away and left the millions of gallons of waste behind as they filled their pockets with cash. Deregulation is what made it profitable for these thieves to walk away rich while the people who are going to lose their homes are left holding the bag…the company was not required to do any planning or to pay for mitigation of their waste since the repubs think it would be too much of a cost for business and they would leave if they had to do even a little to stop polluting the environment….so now we have a Love Canal sized contamination event going on and no one in Florida is doing a damn thing about it except declaring a state of emergency…no shelters, no nothing for the people who are losing their homes…in Florida’s business utopia, everyone is on their own and that’s just the way the repubs want it….geez….
