I stopped after Donald Trump was brought up in about the fourth paragraph. Like him or not, he has nothing to do with the state of Louisana or New Orleans specifically. New Orleans has been governed by Democrats exclusively while all of this environmental damage happened.

Further down:
"One can only imagine the zilch level of concern for a compound like chloroprene by President Trump, who had at his side when he signed an executive order in February stipulating the roll-back of government regulations the chief executive of Dow Chemical—“Andrew, I would like to thank you for…the fantastic job you’ve done,” Trump told Dow chief Andrew Liveris, then handed him his signing pen to keep as a souvenir."
Trump is the president. He should care.

The way the article brings up Trump is like this: "While it is fashionable to critique President Trump for his scientific ignorance, science was misdirected long before Trump laid hands on it."

New Orleans doesn't have many chemical plants. The metropolitan area does, and it's always been governed by pro-business conservatives.
