Never happens in NYS.I beg to disagree...I've seen EPA inspectors on the rigs in the Gulf....a lot. in the past four years..i don't doubt that physical inspections are rare...but in the past....they were common.It's not another layer, it's separate and neither actually physically inspect to ensure the job's getting done.EPA duplicates your State's Department of Health.Well..on Principle I always think Iran could use a good bombing--Lord knows..Putin would like it too..what with oil prices still in the dump.You do understand that your post is pretty stupid, right?Changes..big changes--as Biden attempts to right the ship of State:
President-elect Joe Biden is planning to quickly sign a series of executive orders after being sworn into office on Jan. 20, immediately forecasting that the country’s politics have shifted and that his presidency will be guided by radically different priorities.
He will rejoin the Paris climate accords, according to those close to his campaign and commitments he has made in recent months, and he will reverse President Trump’s withdrawal from the World Health Organization. He will repeal the ban on almost all travel from some Muslim-majority countries, and he will reinstate the program allowing “dreamers,” who were brought to the United States illegally as children, to remain in the country, according to people familiar with his plans.
Although transitions of power can always include abrupt changes, the shift from Trump to Biden — from one president who sought to undermine established norms and institutions to another who has vowed to restore the established order — will be among the most startling in American history.
Biden’s top advisers have spent months quietly working on how best to implement his agenda, with hundreds of transition officials preparing to get to work inside various federal agencies. They have assembled a book filled with his campaign commitments to help guide their early decisions.

I didn't see the existing thread..please merge..thanx***
Yay! No more fracking, $6 gasoline, cash out those IRAs and retirement accounts, open borders...wheee!!
Longer environmental approval for ifrastructure projects. Who needs infrastructure projects anyway? Who needs enhanced public safety? Who needs protection from foreign terrorists entering the US?
Who needs reduced regulations and cutting regulatory costs? Who cares about preventing violence against federal, state, tribal, and local law enforcement officers? Who needs public safety and crime reduction task forces?
An initiative to promote excellence and innovation at historically black colleges and universities?? They're just Negroes anyway, who cares about them? Energy independence? Naww, we don't need that any more.
Combating drug addiction and opioid use? We're all Democrats now. We love drug addiction and opioid use. Stopping foreign violations of trade agreements? Fuck that too. Buy American and hire American? Not any more.
Identifying and reducing tax regulatory burdens? Strike that one down too. Promoting agriculture and rural prosperity in America? Gone with the stroke of a pen. Improving accountability and whistleblower protection at the Department of Veterans Affairs? Nawww, screw the veterans, they're all stupid anyway.
Promoting free speech and religious liberty? Screw that too. That darn constitution was wrote by a bunch of old white dead guys who had slaves, so strike that EO too.
I'm worn out already, and I'm just up to May of 2017. Better get busy, China Joe. You have a shitload of undoing ahead of you...

Biden will reverse the ones he feels are bad..and leave the others. Although, a lot of Trump's EO's had grand titles..but the devil was in the fine print.
Biden is not going to ban fracking..at least for for a few more years--he does want to phase it out--by reducing FF demand in our nation. High gas prices,
if they come, will reduce demand, yes? You seem to think that we can go on indefinitely in the same old way we have done for 100+ years.
If that's what you think..you are wrong.
Massive disruptions for a while..yeah..that may well happen..especially if we don't plan for it. There will be some losers..and some winner--how is that any different from any other time?
If what you want to do is kick the can down the road..the time for that is past.
Yes he will ban fracking. Why else did I suggest that Trump bomb the crap out of Iran before he left office, thereby forcing Manchurian Joe to be a motherfracker?
Biden is not going to ban fracking..actually, I don't think he can..by EO. He plans to make fracking expensive...by putting all the EPA protections Trump dismantled back into place. Some whopping big fines will force the industry to be clean...and that costs more...That's true...
But polluters..are pieces of shit..so..I'm OK with that.
And no, your State's Department of Health does not report to the EPA.
whatever...another layer of accountability is always cool....and many state agencies are bought and paid for..just sayin'~
But hey..if it bugs you...do away with the state agency. I'm sure the State would use the money, eh?
We don't have enough qualified inspectors for anything, let alone restaurants.
Nassau County has 11 food inspectors...it's a sad joke.
