But let's turn this around. Would you be happy if an entrepreneur was allowed to pollute next-door to you now that Trump was in charge? The green space that Obama had fought to protect for your health was now wiped out and covered with brown stinky toxic goo just because Trump wants to be a twat? I don't think so.
Nah, in this day and age of the internet and the rate at which media spreads, I would never build products that used toxic materials..

Prior to the internet, I could get away with it because many times, mainstream media were bribed to keep things quiet. But now that the average joe has been given a voice on the internet, businesses can't get away with that shit anymore. This affects reputation, which ultimately makes a business unprofitable.

I'm not worried about the antiquated fears that some company is going to destroy the earth because the strong arm of the government (ironically, governments who are the biggest polluters on earth) isn't grabbing their necks.
