Trump administration trades cash for rejecting insecticide ban, farmworkers get sick in the process

People have been saying for a while now that the Trump administration was making them sick—and here’s a literal example taken from real life. On May 5 in California, more than 50 farmworkers near Bakersfield became ill after they were exposed to an insecticide (Vulcan) on a farm as they were harvesting cabbage. Under the Obama administration, the active ingredient in Vulcan, chlorpyrifos, was slated to be banned and was recommended to be taken off the market by the Environmental Protection Agency. Chlorpyrifos can be pretty dangerous and even deadly when humans come into contact with it in high doses. So you’d think the Trump administration would also want to make sure that folks don’t risk contamination unnecessarily, right? Think again....
