Comment on Senate votes to overturn EPA rule that limits 7 hazardous air pollutants

So, basically, industrial plants that produce toxic air pollution have to meet stricter standards than, say, a food production facility generating far fewer toxic air pollutants. The rule calls the former a “major” producer. But the oligarchs who run the plant are arguing that, once measures are in place to resuce their air pollution down to lower levels, they should not be considered “major” producers anymore and thus should not be subject to the stricter standards. In other words, because the regulations worked, they should no longer be regulated.
This is some absurdist department of new truth bullshit.
