    Koch family spent millions (billion?) buying out most republican politicians specifically because that was cheaper than not polluting.

    The core argument is “epa is anti business” and they’ve convinced the moronic voters that pollution/climate change doesn’t really affect them. And the regulations are just about paperwork

    (Pollution does, of course, but the charges are for not maintaining records or self reporting- because it’s impossible to prove that they’re polluting when nobody is actually measuring that- they ripped out the meters-)

      Yeah the epa is anti business though. That’s why I’m anti business. Fuckers poisoned the air, dirt, water, and our fucking bodies. It doesn’t have to be anti business though, but businesses choose to make it so

        are they anti-business? or are they Pro-American?

        protecting Americans is not anti-business. polluting the environment around you- including neighborhoods with kids- is anti-American and they should get wrecked.
