Being a lawyer will be a growth industry until all our tort laws and draconian regulations are completely overhauled. Naturally, this overhaul will be done by lawyers.
In other words, we will need even more lawyers.
Forget about "manufacturing". That's old fogey thinking. As long as we can continue to print money and rules everything will be just fine.
Just fine.
Add me please!
Did I say I was against it?? I was just stating an observation. Jeez lighten up.
Follow-up Ping.
No, it was Zep I.D. Red (Liquid) - a degreaser. And they never dumped it, it just evaporated away.
Zep I.D. Red is a fast-evaporating industrial degreaser designed for use where fast evaporation and no residue are desirable. This versatile, fast-evaporating liquid degreaser combines speed in cleaning with high solvent power, but without chlorinated solvents or ozone depleting compounds (ODCs), such as 1,1,1, trichloroethane. Zep I.D.Red leaves no residue and is non-corrosive to metals. It may be used in a variety of applications by spraying and/or wiping. Removes oil deposits, grease, dirt, tar and lubricating compounds from circuit boards, electrical contacts, electric motors, machinery parts, electronic equipment, molds, textiles, etc. It's non-emulsifying formula does not interfere with oil/water separators. It is a thin, colorless liquid with a mild, solvent odor.

"unelected, unaccountable EPA bureaucrats"
That is the problem with every Agency, local, state and federal. It's damn near impossible to fire them unless you frame them. They are protected with gov't liars, I mean lawyers and we have to pay for this crap.
I know a man who was ruined by the EPA in IL and had to sell his business - all because he bought a building and land that USED to be a paint company. HE got the full wrath of the EPA and NOT the previous owner who actually polluted the land with paint solvents.
Opening a small business in Kalifornia is about like trying to outrun the SS troops in Berlin during WWII.
If you are of a mind to, there are five threads here that belong together. This thread, plus the ones in #19 and #32.
I got a sneaky suspicion that the recyclers and toxic disposal companies are in bed with the EPA.
The EPA, along with OSHA and other senseless governmental regulations, plue, the Unions, are why we are losing businesses to India, Mexico, and other countries. The very government that supposed to protect us, is killing us. And we won't even mention NAFTA, the trade deficit, and WalMart.
Thanks- I'll put them together.
A profound insight.
Same with various nitrogen compounds in water solution. Most places call that "fertilizer", but at KSC it was "hazardous waste".
It cost the American taxpayer $1.00 per gallon to haul off hundreds of thousands of gallons of rainwater every year.
I used to be Director of Engineering for the largest commercial printer (WW) and we faced the same problem. These JBTs would make us do repeated "Fat Head Minnow" tests where minnows were placed in samples of water upstream and downstream from our outfall.
The JBTs did not like the fact that more minnows survived in water downstream of our out fall. We treated our water so well that we were improving the quality of the water.
After the 4th rejected test we told them to select the testing facility of their choice and if we passed to leave us alone. They selected a testing facility in Ontario Canada.
They never miss an opportunity to take work away from US Citizens.
I did get a little payback when I blew in 2 of NYS DEC JBTs for going 80+ MPH in a 55 MPH zone. The slime ball they sent to take my statement suggested that my standards were too high as I expected these JBTs to obey the law. How do you respond to such convoluted thinking.
It is a toss up as to who I hate more (yes hate) mudslimes or government thugs.
I believe someone registered with the screen name "American Carolina Stamping" once.
I recall it from when the NC Freepers used to be listed over on the state board.
I wonder if it's Mr. McNabb?
I believe it was.
