Few people get the chance to send a country plunging backwards to an imagined Golden Age. The rethink on asbestos is the latest step in sending the USA Forward To The Past.
Trump’s EPA made a court filing on June 16, 2025, to the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit notifying that it planned to reconsider the Biden administration’s decision to end “ongoing uses” of chrysotile asbestos. This will come as great news to Putin as Russia is a significant exporter of asbestos to the USA.
Trump also plans to make pollution great again by cutting most of the funding of the EPA and sacking large numbers of chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists. This will leave industries free to relive their pollution greatest hits such as Love Canal, Minnesota groundwater PFA pollution, Tennessee Copper Basin environmental destruction, Exide lead contamination and many others.
Removing LGBTQ folk from public life and allowing their vilification will make a great contribution to the regression project along with the hostility to anyone who is not white. Taking abortion rights back to the 1950s fits the pattern perfectly along with denying women certain roles such as frontline combat in the armed forces. The promotion of the Trad Wife trend will be the perfect 50s lifestyle.
Musk is also helping with the forward to the past project by exploding rockets like they did in the very early days of NASA. As competent companies such as Honda have demonstrated, it is possible to develop new rocket systems without blowing them up.
Not to be outdone, Robert Fuckwit Kennedy is doing his best to erode the effectiveness of the health system to the state it was in seventy years ago. Along with the reduction of the funding of the science base the USA can look forward to a great past.
Did FEMA exist in the 1950s? Absolutely not. Did people survive the 1950s without FEMA? Apart from the ones who died, absolutely people survived! Getting rid of FEMA makes perfect sense when put like that.
