Hasn't everyone already quit the EPA? All I hear about these days are mass resignations as people leave to get better paychecks and working environments and a chance to do actual good elsewhere.

I think the EPA serves a good purpose, but they can be pretty heavy handed. Like most government agencies, I think there is a lot of bloat there and am happy to see a rollback.

Perhaps you can provide some evidence to show that they were being heavy handed.

It seems that only those that expect for the government to hand them the means to life on a platter are losing, the rest of us self-made types are thriving.

Um so filling rivers full of toxic waste consequence free is your definition of winning? For whom?

Drop the straw man. Also, it's funny how you're "thriving" when you were bragging about getting, what, $185 more per month through the tax plan? If you were thriving, $185 a month would be a rounding error on your monthly income.

And we're not stupid. You said this was "probably a good thing" without even looking into it. You don't actually care about the facts; you're just eager to rubber stamp whatever Trump does because you worship the ground he walks on. Again, it's hilarious how much you lie about embracing left-wing values, because virtually no one on the left embraces irresponsible deregulation and anti-environmental stances.

So, does this mean that the people the EPA fines are all of a sudden 70% goodlier, or what?

I'm sure Scott Pruitt convinced them to be that way from his soundproof booth. You betcha.

or downstream from some 'clean coal' mining operation. Either will work. I'll buy a tablet for you to keep daily notes in, you know, to track how your cardiopulmonary functions are deteriorating, or the puzzling increase of heavy metals in your bloodstream and organs or the oddly higher ratio of birth defects in the area compared to someplace not in the shadow of a 'clean coal' mining facility.

Drink up motherfucker, but do it quick, that 'water' will probably erode through that glass quickly

It is baffling to me how conservatives believe that corporations will willingly spend billions to ensure that they aren't polluting if the government doesn't enforce regulations. Either they aren't that bright or they really don't give a shit if we live in shit.

I'm really not sure which drumpf is going to fuck up more, the environment or the educational system, either way, what great wins for the kiddies.

Today a corporation will fire you for not being PC enough. Ruining a river with pollution would be very non-PC.
