The government shut down is causing safety inspections to be omitted.
Quote:
Washington braced for a prolonged shutdown, the first in 17 years,
this week after members of Congress failed to pass a budget.
The closure has affected the workforce of many climate and energy programs.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), for one, lost more than
90 percent of its employees, disrupting monitoring of air and water quality
as well as potentially setting back efforts to advance the president’s climate plan.

Soon we will see industries burning off their wastes that otherwise
they would have to pay to process in hazardous waste disposal sites.
On top of that, brazen criminals are breaking federal laws by
tearing off the tags from their mattresses.
Oh, the humanity... think of the children
