Americans have forgotten already, in 1-2 generations more or less, just exactly how polluted and dangerous our environment was in the 1970s, until the EPA, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, OSHA, the CPSC, etc, changed everything. This was all done under Nixon, by the way. Although, so was the "war on drugs".
We are headed back to those dark, horrifying days. Those are the days that gave rise to 1980s #cyberpunk and #dystopia fiction, like #BladeRunner and #ChungKuo and #Neuromancer.
