There are photos of what the US looked like before environmental regulation. It was not pretty

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.
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.
- 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.
- 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.

  Well good news for you, you probably won't get to vote again! I bet that gives you the fuzzies
