    Shit, what about the giant clouds of asbestos dust that wafted through DC when the demo happened? They absolutely did not do any of the required sampling, abatement, or control measures throughout the surprise demo.

    I’d rather toxic waste be dumped at a golf course than in wildlife habitat. Am I supposed to feel bad for these bougie assholes who already destroyed said habitat for their stupid game?

      The toxic waste dump would create more difficulty to rewildlife the golf course. Or do you think toxic waste doesn’t harm flora and funa?

          There would be through activism. But now that is going to have to be tabled so one first clean out the toxic waste

            Bold of you to think that late stage capitalist robber barons would let activism get in the way of their leisure that is so nicely isolated from the poors and jobbies and whatnot.

        thats what ruined a nearby lake that used to have fish in it, in the west coast. a golf course which ''rich people" including trump had visited in the past.

      They should seize the means of the five iron! They have nothing to lose but a stroke under lead!

      It’s actually a national park with ~20 dollar tee fees. If you’re going to access the game for cheap anywhere it would be places like this. Until Trump sells it to his buddies or builds a giant dick monument at any rate.

      True. Golf courses are famously meticulously quarantined environments where large-scale toxic waste would never leak out into the surrounding environment. I totally forgot too that “golf course” and “wildlife habitat” were both mutually exclusive and the only options for toxic waste disposal.

    Lead and zinc are a given, if the rubble contains anything that was painted before the 1970’s. Government contractors used lots of leaded paint, white paint esp.

    I’m more concerned about the walking, talking toxic debris wandering around the White House

    sigh. Of course they did. They’ve been dumping East Wing debris on East Potomac Links for months. And now they’re planning to “renovate” those links. I can’t figure out what incredibly cheap Trump-branded idiocy is going to end up there, but I’m sure something will. Now with added toxic waste!

      Well given that it’s a dump-site on a golf course I’ll wager something to do with a pit full of the refuse and a bulldozer.

    Not reading it, but easily assumed it’d have, at minimum, lead and asbestos, based on the age.
