    "Because the EPA has yet to set limits on the chemical that reflect this latest science, more than 100 census tracts around the country have elevated cancer risks due in part to ethylene oxide pollution."

    He misses the days before he was born when professional sports were for white men only. Poor thing...before endorsement deals, TV and the social media platforms he using to share this poorly informed opinion.

    Which days were these? When Muhammad Ali was stripped of his boxing license for refusing to go to Vietnam? When Jackie Robinson & Larry Doby broke the color line? When Hank Aaron endured death threats b/c he beat Babe Ruth’s homerun record?...

    This administration is willing to deprive those in need from crucial benefits so that they can pretend their “war on poverty” - which is apparently what they call attacking workers to benefit corporations - has been a success.
