pseudanonymous posted:I doubt Cain has any actual ideology, whoever owns him at the moment will dictate his policy. He was previously owned by business, which wanted inflation kept low. Now he's owned by Trump, he'll do what Trump wants. If Cain does get to the Fed, then he will outlast Trump. He can't be fired before his term ends (except for cause like if he becomes a felon or something). He'll pretty much be free to vote for whatever policy he wants/believes is correct.

Cain is one vote among twelve. And really the committee already skews pretty heavily R anyway. I don't think he could do too much damage even if he sucks.

https://twitter.com/ShimonPro/status/1113918310419185671 Wait, he didn't talk to Don Jr either?  quote:An administration official expressed some frustration with Democratic demands to see as much of the Mueller report as possible. The official complained that the report should not reveal information that is embarrassing about the President if he's not being accused by the special counsel of committing any crimes. That official called that possibility "sh***y."

Rigel posted:Yeah, as much as we roll our eyes at Cain, the last guy Trump nominated was arguably worse. There's a decent chance that Cain might turn out to be not terrible and Trump regrets appointing him. Jerome Powell was bad? I would have preferred Yellen stay, but Powell has done an alright job. It looks like he caved to Trump, but in reality Trump slowed the economy down on his own with his trade wars and tweets so the Fed didn't need to do anymore rate hikes. I don't think Trump 'gets' government appointments. Even a Cabinet official who serves at the pleasure of the President can't be fired easily or without ramifications. Trump thinks he can appoint people who will be there long after he's gone and that they'll still do his bidding. If they are ideologically the same, sure. But he's just run out of that pool of sycophants.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:I laughed. Don't fall for propaganda https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_California_Proposition_65 quote:In the law's first 10 years of operation, emissions of its listed chemicals into the air were reduced much more in California (~85%) than in the rest of the U.S.(~50%), as tracked by the U.S. Toxics Release Inventory.[14] California's air emissions during the same period of other toxic chemicals, also tracked by TRI but not on the Proposition 65 list, declined by only the national average,[15] strongly indicating that Proposition 65 was the cause of the difference. There's a bunch more listed in there.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:Propaganda? I live there, and I don't think I have literally ever seen anyone actually advocate for repealing prop 65. I'm just going off what I see. quote:Proposition 65 has caused large numbers of consumer products to be reformulated to remove toxic ingredients, as documented in settlements of enforcement actions.[12] The law's author has noted that many more product reformulations have taken place "invisibly," because of Proposition 65's incentive to reduce toxic exposures in advance of enforcement, and that product reformulations have benefitted consumers nationwide, not just in California.[13] You're basically arguing that your umbrella is worthless because you're dry, ignoring the fact that it's raining.

Prop 65 is a challenging one for business. I work at a company that uses chemicals, is focused on sustainability and being ECO friendly, so I deal with that regulation frequently. It's useful if harsh at times. For us if there is a chemical of concern that can be included on Prop 65 that has a risk we evaluate formulating out of that chemical and finding an alternative. Now can it be stated it goes overboard? Yeah it can, but there is a benefit to it too. It's also lead to conversations about transparency of what's in a product, the right to know what's in there and the right to understand what that is . Conversely Canada has extremely difficult regulation that does not allow for new formulation easily as in some cases they wanted people to put something like hep B (I forget what it was) on someone's skin and then use a product to fix it. On the one hand I can get being that extreme to not allow for grift on the other hand it does make things very difficult as to who would volunteer to put themselves at risk to prove. If you're not grandfathered up there a lot companies can now have difficulty doing new business.
