…On March 12, the new #EPA unveiled what it called "the most consequential day of #deregulation in US history" by rolling back 31 initiatives & eliminating the agency's #DEI arm & its 10 regional #EnvironmentalJustice offices, which worked w/communities to ID & mitigate local sources of #pollution. It *said* it has saved $2B in *wasteful* [because some people have no worth] spending by canceling hundreds of #grants in conjunction w/ #billionaire #ElonMusk's #DOGE.
Asked to comment on the findings of this story, an #EPA spox directed Reuters to a video stmnt by #Trump's new #EPA administrator, #LeeZeldin, who has outlined a strategy emphasizing #deregulation, saying the US can protect the #environment & promote economic growth at the same time [note the absence of concern for #PublicHealth & populations in #LowIncome communities].

If American history won't repeat itself, Trump will try to force it to, a repetition of the Gilded Age, when excessively rich people ripped their workers off, child labor was fashionable, and milk was unsafe everywhere.

"Simplification should not be a guise for deregulation.
By mistaking transparency and openness for an obstacle, not a driver, of innovation, it would shoot itself in the foot. The new transparency rules for AI and data under the EU’s AI Act may become one of the first casualties of this new impetus to roll back some of the recently adopted requirements for the providers of so-called general-purpose AI (GPAI) models.
Under the EU’s AI Act, developers of GPAI models — that is, very large AI models such as OpenAI’s GPT or Google’s Gemini models — will soon have to present a “sufficiently detailed” public summary of the data they used to train the models.
This summary could be a light-touch way to drastically advance transparency around the use of one of AI’s most precious inputs, data at little additional cost to developers.
But if the EU’s AI Office gives in to industry pressure to water down the level of detail, this summary will turn into a performative checkbox exercise that ultimately offers little value to anyone. This would be misguided and short-sighted."
The European Commission released its "AI Continent Action Plan" last week. This high-level communication lays down the various initiatives the European Commission is pursuing to support Europe's AI ambitions and AI uptake: https://iapp.org/news/a/a-view-from-brussels-what-is-and-isn-t-in-the-eu-s-ai-continent-action-plan

what you think a life is worth, like literally? how much do you want to spend on it?
regulating agencies have think about such things, trolley-problem style.
there's statistical measure for it called the VSL, the value of a statistical life. it is an important concept to know in a trump USA. what is your life worth to this administration? you can measure it.

@lauren @lauren That is what they want. Since every public service will be privatized, work and workplaces will be unregulated.

"The new administration is in the process of implementing substantial policy changes in four distinct areas #trade, #immigration, fiscal policy & regulation [#deregulation]," #FederalReserve chair #JeromePowell said.
"Our monetary policy stance is well positioned to deal with the risks & uncertainties we face as we gain a better understanding of the policy changes & their likely [adverse] effects on the #economy. It is not our role to comment on those policies."

Case in point: same #lobbies that want to label #blueH2 as clean, use the #deregulation 
#Omnibus laws to roll back hard-won climate protections, such as the EU’s 2024 Methane Regulation.
This could open the door for continued imports of highly polluting #LNG from fracked gas in the US
Label #BlueH2 as 'clean’ means billions in new subsidies 4 #fossilfuel projects that exacerbate the #ClimateCrisis
#Methane heats the atmosphere over 80 times more than Co2 the first 20 y

Musk Triggers A Corporate #Deregulation Bomb
A bill, written by Musk's own lawyers, in #Dems-controlled #Delaware legislature would award Musk $56B, shield corporate execs from liability, & strip away voting power from shareholders.
If they don't pass it, a Musk- led mass corporate exodus from Delaware is threatened.

Musk Has Triggered A Corporate Deregulation Bomb

"If lawmakers don’t enact the #law, which was written by Musk’s own lawyers, the billionaire mogul and his allies are threatening a mass exodus of companies out of the state."
Musk, etc., with Trump's leverage behind them, will try and enforce deregulation on Europe and Britain. Things like the online safety bill will be under attack. Unless we stand up and fight this, a truly Orwellian world beckons, I believe.
