And they never went after any of those coal plants.

Okay, let's step back a minute, because chocolate factories are not a major source of this fine particle pollution.

When you look at power plants,

they're responsible for about a quarter of the problem.

And chocolate?

Is chocolate a quarter of the problem as well?

No, no, no, no.

Oh.

Now, there's a quote that you gave where you used an animal metaphor that I've seen quoted widely in a million articles that I just would like you to repeat here for our listeners.

That being said.

I'll say it if you don't feel like you can.

You said that, hold on for a second, I have it here.

You said that what the EPA was doing with this chocolate factory and ignoring the coal plants, you said, quote, it's like crushing an ant when there's a pack of wolves around, then claiming you have saved people from harm.

How about if we say, all right, it's like crushing an ant.

Don't be scared of those animal rights, people.

I just think this is just like my entire relationship to government right now can be summed up by this story.

OK, there's all these things that are throwing particles in the air.

And the only one I like is the one they're getting rid of.

Yeah.

And, you know, that's my frustration as well.
