    It was also absurd at the time. The way he talks about REACH is insane. He thinks the chemical industry in the EU wasnt powerful enough to lobby against unessescary legislation?

    REACH is the minimum we agreed on to not have everyone and their dog be exposed to harmful chemicals and work towards using somewhat less harmful chemicals.

    What he was demanding there is deregulating in the style of putting lead back into gasoline.

      it usually is. And ask about it, they’ll say lead’s fine. They’ve never even heard that it’s poisonous, they’ll look at you like you’re a four-eyed frog when you tell them, and then they’ll ask for a citation. And you’re not even allowed to just stab them at that point, even as a mercy killing.
