Walter Peck (the EPA guy from “Ghostbusters”) was right

“Batkaren” from Mastodon is correct:

I’ve become old enough to realize Walter Peck from the EPA was 100% right to try to regulate the Ghostbusters’ storage containment unit.

And in response, “Crumbs the Cat” astutely noted:

The whole movie is Reaganism in a nutshell. The heroes are scrappy, risk-taking entrepreneurs who have been rejected by elitist academia, are hounded by meddling government regulators, and ultimately have to come to the rescue of a helpless government. They prevail in the end against a world-destroying androgyne by breaking their *own* workplace safety rules (“never cross the streams”).
