What an impending nightmare.

We're living in a horror film.

That's quite melodramatic. Overturning some of these regulations aren't a big deal - some even make sense. For example, overturning the current prohibition on gun sales to those with mental disabilities that don't incline them to violence (such as bulimia, which currently is enough to suspend access to firearms). Presidents when first entering office, including Obama, delayed or suspended many regulations; it's not uncommon. In fact, the prohibition on smoking in public housing was still allowed to proceed as of February 3rd - and that's a pretty damn stupid regulation.

However, most of these regulations were generally positive, so removing them would be harmful to Americans, the environment, and/or the economy. But Republicans were elected into office on an explicit platform of deregulating the economy, so that's exactly what they're going to do.

Wall St love him. They are going to make a fortune.

Mineral exploration in the USA is something that is great for the economy. Apart from coal and iron ore, most mineral development projects are very environmentally friendly.

It's not the end of the world, it's just a re-balancing towards the 1950's.

Tell me Trump isn't as melodramatic as they come? AND mentally unstable.

Of course Trump is melodramatic and likely mentally unstable (I'm no diagnostician, so I can only make assumptions). But I wasn't referring to Trump's melodrama, but rather to yours. I agree with you that these deregulations are largely bad, but it's far from us "living in a horror film."

To me it's turning into a horror film. I watched the Standing Rock situation as it was happening, how Obama stopped the pipeline so the study could be completed. Then Trump comes along and ram-rods through an OK to go for it.

He wants to gut the EPA. He wants to deregulate the banks and give big business big breaks. He wants to punish females who have abortions. He wants to defund Planned Parenthood. He is OK with all the harassment of people of a different religious faith, of people who are immigrants, of gays. Plus all the weird things he says or tweets.... To me this is a horror movie, and it's only just begun.

You really don't begin to understand the implications of the "re-balancing", do you?
