Trump will soon decide we are back to 1984 so he can rape kids and say the n word while on coke and people will go, “oh that’s Donald, he’s a great a guy”.
Leaded gas and paint on the horizon again. Yippee!
It’s like they have to make the worst possible decision for every single thing.
It’s the best possible decision if you are in the right business though.
Thank goodness can’t wait to get 8 miles to the gallon. /s
“But you see, those cars will have terrible mile per gallon, which means a savvy inventor can come and create a more fuel efficient car, then everybody will buy that!”
Hell yeah! Put the lead back in next! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwwwwwwawww!
Put the lead back in next!
I give it under a year.
Did I hear “January 1st”?
This is fairly misleading - the change just allows for market forces to drive production more than regulafions. Its already heading toward EVs, this just means that artificial imposition of quotas dont need to make prices higher for consumers.
Im no fan of the Trump administration, but I actually agree with this move.
But the market cares about profit, not people. That’s why regulations exist!
Market regulations prevent abuses. Without them, it’s always a race to the bottom. The free market won’t save you, it just mindlessly pursues profits (it literally can’t do otherwise).
make prices higher for consumers
Per the article:
The agency last year said the rule for passenger cars and trucks would reduce gasoline consumption by 64 billion gallons and cut emissions by 659 million metric tons, reducing fuel costs with net benefits estimated at $35.2 billion for drivers.
The market is not heading towards EVs in US.
Regulation guides market behavior.
If the market was already behaving in the desired way, then removing the regulation does nothing.
If removing the regulation allows “market forces to drive production”, then the market was not behaving in the desired way and that’s probably why the regulation existed in the first place.
Fuel efficiency standards create a floor that would not be there otherwise.
I have never once seen or heard of market deregulation resulting in an improvement in the health of that market.
While I’m generally pro regulation, that’s not true. You can absolutely over regulate an industry or put out regulations that are bad.
For example NIMBY regulations that prevent multi-family units from being constructed or in NJ breweries can’t sell food (due to weird alcohol laws/regulations).
Then you haven’t been looking very hard. The airline industry in the US is a good example. Your internet search terms could be “deregulation case study” and would also find negative cases
EDIT: you can downvote, but can you type three words into a search engine and click on one link that doesn’t align with your current opinions? IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE!!

If only we removed lead from pain twenty years earlier maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess.
Of course you do dude, you believe in the invisible handjob of the market.
