Several states are suing the EPA for eliminating
their safety training requirements for workers
handling pesticides.
Used to be a law to where if you had workers
that were working around pesticides that maybe
wouldn't kill them that day, that would kill
them 10 years from now, you had a duty to
have a training program, and to say look,
this is Roundup for example.
You may think Roundup is safe, Roundup is
not safe.
Roundup will cause cancer, it will cause neurological
disease and you need to know that.
They had the requirement of giving the whole
story, good and bad, and now of course, this
idiot, Scott Pruitt.
The idiot of all idiots working as somebody
in control of our government says, no we're
going to do away with that.
See this was actually a great rule put in
place by HW Bush back in '92, and like you
said it was basically just hey, if you're
going to handle these pesticides or herbicides,
or other industrial farm chemicals you have
to, one, we tell you the whole story but two,
we show you and provide training on how to
properly do it, and get it off of whatever
clothing you're wearing so that you don't
take it home and poison your kids, or your
wife or husband or whoever.
And Scott Pruitt came along and said, huh,
you know I don't think we need to teach these
people who most of them obviously didn't go
to college, they don't speak English hardly
all, here's a container that you wear on your
back of toxic pesticides go have at it.
And it will be 10 years, 15 years before you
die, by then Scott Pruitt will be gone.
We've already deported you.
You're deported, living in Cantina Mexico.
You have no idea really what's going to happen
to your family.
