What are these regulations even for, anyway? It's not like there's been a nuclear meltdown in the US lately. Seriously, why have regulations for things that just don't happen anymore? /s

These fascists are out to kill as many of us as they can while corporate oligarchies cover for them so they can all short the economy together. They do not care for the future.
