Relatively speaking, the EPA has pushed (in the wrong direction) the boundaries about 1,000,000x less than corporations have. We have PFAS everywhere (a recent HN article). Look at the list of superfund sites in the US. I think the EPA does far too little to protect us from cancer causing chemicals because politicians allow them to pollute. Fracking's 500 chemicals declared a proprietary:

We know a lot more about cancer and what causes it compared to when the EPA was founded. Look at how little we do with that knowledge.

Well that is a prime example of what about ism. I think one can hold the position that the EPA has been both abusive to every day American's when the abuse their authority to prevent home owners from building on their land because there is a beetle some where in the area (yes that is hyperbolic) while at the same time playing liability shield for large corporations that are harming these same home owners.

Yelling at the clouds saying "but what about the corporations" does nothing to refute my original statement

I completely disagree that the EPA has been abusive. Proof??

Your comment is a prime example of cherry picking.

I gave you concrete examples (fracking), so that you said I was "yelling at the clouds" speaks to your bias.
