" I grew up in Ohio when the Cuyahoga River caught fire.
When Lake Erie was a polluted mess, and when a grey cloud hung over..."

I remember those days too, used to drive through Cleveland late at night and the sky was lit up by furnaces from countless foundries & steel mills, etc.
Yes, pumping out a lot of smoke, but producing US heavy metal and a lot of good paying jobs.

No more.
Now the skies are blue & waters clean, but...
Today the metal & jobs are in China or elsewhere and our guys flip burgers or greet you at Wal-Mart.

You know, if there was a politician who figured out how to bring those jobs back, I'd vote for him.
I know, let's call it M.A.G.A., do you think?

Indeed, leaving it to China to produce this crap is a sure recipe for ecological disasters. Bottom line is that a sea of many small fishes is not the bigger pollution foot print but a Soviet style Leviathan state in the sea without limits will always be corrupt, poaching and polluting with its huge footprint.
