Does the USA need more socialism or less socialism?

"India has a comprehensive, strict legal framework for environmental protection, but faces challenges with enforcement, compliance, and regulatory consistency. Key laws include the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, along with specific rules for air, water, and waste management. Enforcement is managed by the Central and State Pollution Control Boards and the National Green Tribunal"
-- Environmental Regulations in India

India has strict governmental controls of their environment, and a governmental body that can be bought cheap.

The truth is, no politician cares about the environment more than a mile from their office or home. The only thing that can clean up an environment is a rising standard of living in the immediate area.

Rich people won't tolerate living in a shite-hole and will pay to clean it up.

When given a choice of protecting the environment or making more money, they say “Show me the money”

But, I believe I've demonstrated pretty conclusively that protecting the environment happens best where people are making money.

Do your own research, you will quickly find that the filthiest places on Earth are all in the poorest countries.

You don't see rubbish tips and polluted rivers in a country club ...

But you often find the taxpayers on the hook for cleaning up coal mines.

Better to destroy the environment in pursuit of short term profits
That old pressure treated lumber contained arsenic
Not something you want around your family.

Since nobody in my family ever chewed on our deck, it wasn't an issue. The part of our deck built in 1990 is still in great shape. The part we added with the new lumber rotted after 10 years.

No EPA there

I remember the trash that used to show up on our beaches

Household radon causing lung cancer. Another EPA hoax that is costly to homeowners. The left specializes in solutions to non-existent problems. Not so great at solutions to real problems

Radon is not good for you

No—radon is definitely not a hoax.

Radon is a real, naturally occurring radioactive gas formed when uranium in soil and rock breaks down. It’s invisible, odorless, and tasteless, which is why it can build up in homes without people realizing it.
Here’s why it matters:

• Health risk: Radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and World Health Organization.

Citing the same leftwing organizations as sources. That's circular logic if I ever heard it. The radon hoax is closely related to the climate change hoax. Expensive remedies for unproven "problems".
