The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

No. Because half of infninity is still infinity and if an agency is given no assumption of correctness, corporations can not only argue that a specific LEVEL is arbitrary and capricious without justification, they can also file lawsuits objecting to the MEANS by which the level is measured, arguing the sampling process is inaccurate, subject to partisan interpretation, etc. - WTH

You make some good and thought provoking points. However we must find some middle ground, if the bureaucrats word is final, then we are creating an un-accountable oligarchy.

There must be some middle ground found somehow to allow common sense from outside the beltway to penetrate the rule making process. The very regulations you defend are where the rubber meets the road for lobbyists, political contributions, and granting favors and the more sunlight, the better.
