Since water is a key ingredient in beer, it being mostly water, polluted water threatens beer quality.
Thursday a group of 59 craft breweries sent a letter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers opposing the agencies' "Dirty Water Rule" proposal to slash clean water protections for waterways around the country.
These brewers, who are partners in NRDC's Brewers for Clean Water campaign, are standing up for safeguards that protect the sources of clean water on which their businesses depend.

Traditional conservative values are rooted in the same Calvinist predestination beliefs that justify everything the party and administration is currently doing. The fact that the people dying from cancer don't get it is just proof God already decided they belong in hell. And if they happen to be a good upstanding citizens, it's God's way of testing them and their families. And if they're in perpetual poverty / slaves, that's Ham's curse. You can't have social healthcare because if God wanted those people healthy he woudln't have made them sick. And if he wants them cured, he'll give you money so you'd charitably give it away for them... The only difference nowadays is that they replaced "God" with the "invisible hand of the market".
Really, read some Adam Smith. As far as traditional conservative values go, Trump is Jesus 2nd coming.

All of that goes against the core teachings of Jesus to which those people profess belief. I have heard many of their reasons, but explaining the history behind their development does not change their blatant hypocrisy. I enjoyed your comment though.
Still angry at the idiocy and hatred.

You trying to throw some shade brah? Angry that people think religion is founded in stupidity and evil?
Jesus hated religion or so I've heard, that means Christians will be dancing a pretty tune to the Devil's mad fiddle skillz.

Trust me, I am the most anti-religion person in the thread. The problem is religion has gone "underground", and now often masquerades as something else (political parties, science-mimicking research, etc)

Flamebait? I am not kidding when I say I refuse to enter a church for wedding, funeral, or any reason at all. Last wedding I sat on a curb in the parking lot drinking instead of go in. I saw them all kneeling to some guy who claims to know what happens after you die, and they saw me and wished they were out there too.

Yup. The religious bullshit is useful in getting the vast unwashed masses to go along with what is essentially Vulture Capitalism writ large on a national scale, with the neutering of the clean water rule as part of the leveraged buyout.
The world is full of kings and queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams.
