Trump quietly shutters the only federal agency that investigates industrial chemical explosions.
Hazardous chemical accidents happen in the U.S. about every other day. Who will investigate them now? #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming

In May, I published a deep dive on a Pakistani firm that had just been charged w/ shipping fentanyl analogs to the US and was behind a sprawling empire of scam ghostwriting, app and logo design companies that were spending millions on Google ads to promote their scam businesses.

The story received a decent amount of attention, but it almost immediately dropped off Google search entirely. Searching for the headline brought only links to other sites covering my report. This persisted for almost two weeks and I never got a satisfactory answer from Google about why the story dropped from search.
Just read a story at Ars Technica about how a tech CEO who was trying to quash reporting about his alleged misdeeds used a feature in Google known as Refresh Outdated Content to trick Google into deindexing the unflattering stories about him. The method he reportedly used was working until last month. Makes me wonder how widely known this bug was.

My favorite part is "the Labor Department would rescind a requirement for most employer-provided transportation to have seat belts for those agriculture workers."
Those poor landowners having to pay for seatbelts 

The U.S. Department of Labor is aiming to rewrite or repeal more than 60 “obsolete” workplace regulations adopted under previous presidential administrations. The wide-ranging rollbacks range from minimum wage requirements for home health care workers and people with disabilities to standards governing exposure to harmful substances to working conditions at constructions sites and in mines. The Labor Department says the goal is to deliver on President Donald Trump’s commitment to restore American prosperity through deregulation. Critics say the proposals would put workers at greater risk of harm, with women and members of minority groups bearing a disproportionate impact.
Just like in my favorite dystopia science fiction world
