Why would they want to fund a group that calls them out for taking deadly shortcuts to save money?


How does a massive chemical accident, or explosion that destroys a manufacturing facility, creating huge civil liability, "save money?" Or why they wouldn't want to learn from the mishaps of others to avoid massively costly accidents themselves.

TFA says the chemical industry supports the mission and role of the CSB. It's trivially cheap in the scope of the whole industry, so they could just support it themselves.

The CSB isn't a regulator. They don't write rules or impose fines. They investigate accidents, identify causes, and things that could have been done to prevent the accidents.


That's how the FDA works, so, should we just shut them down?


There are chemicals that are routinely used but aren't considered foods or drugs


If it was up to drug companies, I'm guessing they would be supportive.

If if by "we" you mean me personally, I think it's a bad idea.


They're literally shutting down the FDA as we speak so yes?
