“What really burns me” – OH-EPA Where rules really ARE made to be broken.

Author: TD

“Rules are made to be broken” at least that’s what we were told when we were kids.

We heard it from all our friends, and older siblings, and we believed it.

Until our all-knowing smarter parents shot that down, put us to rights and made us understand that rules are made to be followed.

Rules are made to protect us, and rules are made because some people have done things that can be considered ignorant and silly.

So rules were made to protect us just like signs are never made unless someone has actually done the deed that caused the making of the sign.

With that being said, I want to tell you about someone, an organization, who breaks their own rules and allows others to break them too.

The Ohio EPA, and yes I know just as all of you do that these folks are not elected, they’re bureaucrats, hired under the promise of watching out for our health and wellbeing, keeping an eye on our environment and stopping all the pollution and all the toxification of our air and water etc etc.

But What I bet you don’t see, is that the EPA is not a government organization as we were led to believe. They are hired bureaucrats who can talk fancy and make you want their services. they’re given power over protecting our environment and our water and our kids and our lives but they don’t use it for that they use it to make money.

It’s a money grabbing organization that answers to no one but gives all the money they earn to their pockets and to the government officials who let them stay in power.

The EPA gets their funds from fines and fees that they charge to every company, large organization or anyone who violates their rule.

But of course they can’t fine themselves or charge themselves any fees even though they break their own rules as well.

Ask yourself a question When a company needs to get rid of waste if they don’t ask the EPA and get caught they get fined and that’s it.

And yes I know sometimes they get sued and lose a lot of money. Now lets say that same company asks the EPA for a permit to commit whatever atrocity that they’re going to commit And they receive it for a fee.

What I don’t understand is how does the EPA make rules stating that you can’t do this and you can’t do that but if you want to do those things call us and we’ll sell you a permit that allows you to do those things

So if you want to pollute call the EPA if you want to put toxic waste in the water call the EPA and get a permit.

Only as an example Win Waste Innovations. They have purchased multiple different permits and all of those permits give them allowance to do exactly what the EPA has made rules against. Such as SO2 levels, such as expansions, such as height of the trash mountain so on and so forth

It shows me that either the EPA is on the take, or they just take enough to give the landfill the opportunity to have a permit, to do exactly what the EPA has mandated that no one can do.

So I guess our friends were right when we were kids, rules are made to be broken… at least when it comes to keeping our air and water clean for our children and for their future.

What is the actual use of the EPA? why do they exist?

They might need to change their name to the Environmental Payoff Agency.
