How exactly is banning harmful chemicals sad?

Pick up any package in a store and discover that it causes cancer in CA. What is the cost benefit analysis? Why not let consumers decide? Should ciggs and booze be banned? We know that they contain harmful chemicals? Hell, soda pop contains harmful chemicals. Should we just trust big bro to look out for us? The same people that brought us pain killers, "the jab", terrorists and criminals coming freely across the border, 36 trill in debt, 10 billion $ of war equipment abandoned to the Taliban in Afghanistan, a failure to reasonably foresee the consequence of not being prepared for fires in CA, etc. It is a sad state of affairs that we live in.

I can't believe I survived growing up drinking out of a garden hose.

How exactly is banning harmful chemicals sad?

That was a poor expression of my thoughts. I have no problem banning harmful chemicals. However these states have no problem allowing other harmful chemicals to be sold (see post above) that have very little benefit to people and that may have greater risk to health. It’s hard to take legislation like this serious. May be I am a little jaded or not throughly informed of the risks.

Rivers I fish are contaminated with PFAS because of decades of manufacturing of high-tech materials and finishes. So I can't say I'm upset about this.
