Subject: Trump Wants to Kill Chemical Safety Board
...and American workers.

In January 2021, after a nitrogen leak at a poultry plant in Georgia killed 6 workers and injured scores more, federal investigators arrived at the scene.

The team, from a small federal agency called the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, traced the fatal leak to a freezer part that had been bent out of shape. A series of recommendations to improve safety followed.

Now, the White House is planning to eliminate the agency, allocating $0 for its budget starting in 2026. Even industry groups are opposed.

The agency simply works with companies to investigate complex chemical mishaps they cannot afford to investigate in order to prevent future deaths or injuries. The agency does not penalize companies or issue new regulations.

It exists only to investigate and to ensure workplace safety.

It's budget last year was $14.4 million.

One question: WTF is wrong with Mad King Donald and the cult who worship him?
