I can see problems with inspection and enforcement activity with "shelter in place" orders (assuming some sort of oversight was happening with this EPA in the first place), but to say "Go for it. Violate the law. You've got a free pass." is insanity.
If I don't see an article about environmental groups filing suit and motions to keep regulations in place while litigating, I'm going to be very pissed off.
We can't let this shit go.
