    talking about an abuse of power


    Anti state rights

    Anti advancement

    Anti Public good


    Imagine if a number of banks decided to get together and developed an industry standard for enhanced security and would adhere to that standard by some X year.... then DOJ comes in with an antitrust probe.

    Imagine if a number of toy companies decided to get together and agreed to phase out all lead paint and child labor and adhere to that by some X years... then DOJ comes in with an antitrust probe.

    Not to mention they’re threatening California for having stricter standards and working on them with some auto companies.

    It’s nearly impossible to list all of the incredibly idiotic things this administration has done and continues to do...but this one might be in the top 10.

    You know something is wrong when the industry being deregulated doesn't want the regulations to end.

    There's nothing idiotic. This is business as usual all while Americans choose to buy bigger cars.

    Polluting and over consuming is an American industry
