Safety Wars 1-21-2025 EPA Puts Price of Life at Zero $$$

Tonight we discuss a NYT article by Maxine Joselow "Trump's E.P.A. Has Put a Value on Human Life: Zero Dollars (https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/climate/epa-human-life-value.html). This article describes a recent decision on PM 2.5 and Ozone that did an cost-benefit analyses that essentially placed the value of a "statistical life" at zero and focussed on the cost to business. This is a fantastically written article that actual does a deep-dive in a subject that we need to know about.I believe the decision by the EPA might be the most significant change in policy in recent memory and might have broad implications across the board for C/B analyses.For all your health and safety needs, visit us at our website safetywars.com, contact us at [email protected] or 845-269-5772.We have a regular broadcast on Safety FM, listen to us on your favorite Podcast platform and video network as Safety Wars.Tune into Safety Wars on your favorite podcast and video network for this and other safety stories. visit us at safetywars.com. like and share us on social media. If we run overtime our preferred network for video is Rumble :https://rumble.com/user/SafetyWars and you can see us there.
