Yeah, less environmental regulations always works out well. WTF
Edit: I know why they're doing it, it's just the actual evil of it is fucking disgusting.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

We are gonna pay for this move one way or another. Either more regulations later or lower overall health(and higher medical costs) due to environmental factors later in next generations.
It's hard to fathom how deeply these people don't care about anyone else, or anything else, but themselves.
But of course. The EPA gets in the way of big profits for energy companies.
There isn't even a veneer on this shit.
This is what you voted for protest non voters. Congratulations.
Look, I'm not a protest nonvoter but this line does a lot more harm than good. You get to feel smug but all you're doing is alienating the people who voted against this despite having to vote against their conscience to do so.
I feel ideologically aligned with people who couldn't stomach voting for either party, because despite all the stupid mockery both sides are bad. The Republicans are actively evil and the Democrats are knowingly complicit. It's not equally bad, but it's all bad. Every smug comment like yours chips away at my desire to hold my nose and vote for centrist neoliberals against my own interests.
How about instead, for a change, we blame the people who voted in loser candidates like Hillary and Biden? 1/3 is a failing grade, and we're all paying for it because of Hillary's pied piper. Yet people like you continue to blame the people who didn't like a bad candidate.
It’s not equally bad, but it’s all bad
I'll point you to the article.
How about instead, for a change, we blame the people...
Nope.
Gotcha, so complete dismissal. You know that just proves my point, right? Stop blaming a hypothetical nonvoter for the sins of the Democratic party. If you need to blame voters, blame the ones who backed the wrong horse.
blame the ones who backed the wrong horse.
I am.
Who did you vote for in the 2016, 2020, and 2024 primaries?
Allow me to amend my statement: I am. Those who protest non voted.
Allow me to ask again: who did you vote for in the last 3 presidential primaries?
Every smug comment like yours chips away at my desire to hold my nose and vote for centrist neoliberals against my own interests.
Well good news for you, you probably won't get to vote again! I bet that gives you the fuzzies
And what exactly makes you think that? I'm royally pissed because I've done everything to stop this and yet centrists can't stop blaming everyone but themselves for the problems they caused. Take some goddamn responsibility.
ring … ring :
Hello
: water
Water…where?
: under the bridge
Got another 3 years and 10.5 months more of this.
Could actually say even more than that, it will take a long time to fix this.
