In your world view if the federal government relaxes “environmental regulations” that means the planet will automatically get more polluted. Unfortunately that is the view of too many people because it doesn’t work that way.
It kinda does work that way.

Remember when smog was really, really bad in the '60s and '70s? Then the 1970 Clean Air Act kicked in and the car and oil companies screamed bloody murder about the regulatory burden and how the cost of installing catalytic converters was going to be ruinous, yada yada yada. Now smog is like 1/10 of what it once was with twice the number of cars being driven twice as many miles. Everybody wins, and those poor overburdened car companies and oil companies still manage to rake it in.

Remember when cities used to pour raw sewage into rivers, bays, and the ocean? Or factories used to dump their toxic waste straight into the creek out back (I personally knew a guy who used to work at Delco in the Goodland who did exactly this) and the municipalities and businesses screamed bloody murder at the burdensome regulations they were placed under when the Clean Water Act of 1972 came in? But now people can swim and surf in the ocean without getting hepatitis and egrets and herons once again fish in the estuaries, and everybody wins.

Remember when Union Oil screamed bloody murder and got a waiver from those burdensome regulations making them have casing on their wells and then platform A blew out in 1969? Everybody lost that time, they should've followed the regs.

There's alot of things that can be used contrary to their design, as per their natural design and most problems associated with their misuse are not immediately manifest. et al.
Mouth is an entrance and sometimes exit, are blow jobs okay?

I mean I'm sure God didn't design it for dick.

Just curious what puritan surfers think about that hole.

No, if we leave the corporations alone, they would always do what's right and put the environment and regular people before profits.

Do wavepools have fluoride in the water?
If we surf them will we end up looking like a Gudauskas?

What other stuff is there in wavepool water? Are there ingredients lists available?

Could be funny to chuck some viagra i there maybe?

You’re looking at the 1970s and I’m talking about today.

To say that we aren’t over regulated now is just willful ignorance.
