from cars and trucks. Today such fumes are very uncommon, I see and smell them, but they are uncommon. Businesses that cater to Trump's and Pruitt's attack on the environment are being very shortsighted, it will cost them dearly in the long run, some will even go out of business. One thing that I think that I know about human beings from observing, is that people never go back to worse times and act like that is ok, there will be repercussions for the companies that fall for the trap that Trump is setting for them.
