    I don’t think Biden could have created a more BS agency other than his ministry of truth. This is a feel good office that will create jobs and kickbacks for friends relatives and guess who’s paying for it?

    Biden is expanding government as we watch with another agency that will tell us what to do.

    Oh, and I love the racial component he used, any criticism will be deemed racist.

    My hometown of Syracuse has a serious problem with lead paint. And guess who is living there and has been forced to live there thanks to government policies? That’s an example of environmental racism. Unsafe living situations. Though that’s more arguably housing. Heck there is documented environmental racism with trees. What do you think is going to happen when climate change rolls around and creates the largest migration crisis since the Great Migration?

    They are forced to live there? The government will not allow them to move? Did the gov't put the lead paint there too?

    So trees are racist too? I bet there are some very bigoted varieties. Those cedars are a little sketchy.

    Are you disputing the fact that there are communities that are positioned in areas where corporations violate environmental regulations? And are you disputing the fact that, by and large, those communities tend to be poor? And many Black? Or are you disputing the fact that the federal government doesn't need to concern itself with environmental injustices that are leading to sickness and death for Americans?

    Yes I do believe so actually. Basically the government sponsored lead removal in white suburban houses but “oh no there’s no money to do it in apartments” for POC.

    And systemic racism is a thing that is created by the government through various policies. Ask yourself this, why are there so few trees in cities?

    Isnt there places in the Alabama where people could not afford to be hooked up to a water system leading to people having cesspools in their front lawns? This in turn lead to the UN saying the US had human rights abuses? Something like that a couple of years ago?

    So you really don't know why there are fewer trees in cities than rural areas?

    I work in real estate, if there is lead paint, the gov't is not going to remedy that. It's up to buyers or sellers. People are not being forced to live anywhere.

    Question if you work in real estate. I’m assuming you buy up cheap houses and then sell them for a profit yes?

    The leftist radical, Beccera knows. his team is losing the minority vote, so, what better way than to try to get it back than to make them think you're doing something big for them?

    No, that would be an investor and we don't have that kind of market where I am.

    Lead paint is a possibility as we have lots of old buildings in this area, and the government is not involved, and it's a bunch of white people. Shocking, I know.

    I know there were government programs that did it and were responsible for helping to remove lead paint from homes.

    May have been a few small pockets of homes in the country, but not in most places. So now it's racism that made the gov't did that because they didn't remedy every area of lead paint in existence?

    Have you figured out why cities have less trees yet?

    Because the government made them cut it down but provided tax incentives for suburbia to get trees.

    And here is what happened for lead:

    “The study includes some surprising conclusions: The social condition of being African American is a bigger risk than living in an old house. In other words, black children living in buildings built between 1950-1977 are six times more likely to have elevated levels of lead in their blood than white children living in a building of that era.”

    You think cities have less trees because gov't made them cut them down? What tax incentives? This is getting bizarre and the fact that you believe what you're saying is not helping. There are no tax incentives for cutting down trees.

    Hint: Cities have less trees than rural areas because the land is taken up with more buildings, roads, parking lots, etc. Rural areas tend to have more trees because they have less of all those things. Also hint: Black people are free to live in cities or rural areas.

    And according to your study, the old buildings white kids live in don't have lead paint? Or do you think white kids never live in old buildings?

    Liberals: we didn’t know we needed this agency and have no idea why this wasn’t done before today nor any justifiable reason to think it will be conducted effectively but now that Biden did it this is extremely important and lots of bad things will happen if we don’t and we will now argue the issue like we’ve been putting up a thread every day on it for years.

    it’s an election year. Your party is desperate to mitigate the damage. Save your worthless breath on the matter because nobody thinks this will be Biden’s first non-screw up.

    If you will point out the most racist trees in the bunch I'll have some loggers come sort them out. We can have tp made, and I'll sell it to those needy people myself.

    I have 40 acres of forested land, imagine the racism that is wreaking from all these trees. I'm surprised the news isn't here every day.

    This just in; racist trees are being blamed for blacks murdering each other like it was going out of style, and also for making them resist arrest at an enormous rate! These trees were around when MLK was shot, how do we know they were not involved?

    You may have a real problem on your hands over there.

    Pretty soon, Joe will create the Hunger Games and each state will have to submit one tribute. Of course, they all have to be white people. He has to prove somehow that he is not a total bigot POS, even if it is a lie.

    I nominate Joe Biden from Delaware and Chuck Schumer from New York.
