So when your home value and that of your neighbors is wiped out because a corporation in the neighboring state dumps toxic waste into the water table that kills off all living plants for a hundred miles what are you going to do?
Sue them.
exactly
what a bunch of helpless assholes
You can't sue when you don't have standing to sue and by eliminating the EPA you eliminated the regulations too.
But don't let reality spoil your imaginary bubble world.
When would you not have standing to sue a corporation for dumping toxic waste next to your home? Pollution standards are already handled for the most part by state and local law and enforcement. The only reason for the Federal enforcement of pollution standards is to "harmonize" these laws and allow agenda driven national politics to pummel states and regions into compliance. In fact, the victims of the EPA are equally likely to be cities, counties and states as they are to be a small farmer with a watering hole that is now a "navigable waterway"..
You are referring to existing regulations.
The lackwitted poster said that they should get rid of the EPA so I asked how he would handle a hypothetical situation if he was harmed by toxic fallout coming from a neighboring state without the EPA.
Not being a resident he would not be able to sue since he would have no standing in that state and all of the existing federal regulations would have been thrown out with the EPA (otherwise what is the point?) so the dullard would have no recourse as we have today.
But it is readily apparent that none of those that want to eliminate the EPA have the cognitive skills to think through the potential consequences of their folly.
