09-15-2026 The 2009 Endangerment Finding…It’s Over
——————-
Golden scams with US end. Regulation cuts are wins.
Regulations have consequences. Forget hook ‘em horns, go with fart*, Bevo, fart. We can exhale* more easily now that Trump revoked the 2009 Obama-era “Endangerment Finding.” It drove climate rules by defining greenhouse gases, including methane emitted by cows and CO₂ exhaled by humans.
The largest deregulatory move aims to reduce manufacturing costs and increase vehicle affordability. As a result, the 10-year yield remains below 5% and will break below 4.40%.
It’s Over.
