  They would have kept it in if it had helped the 1%.

  A fact so true they don’t bother to hide it.

  “Maybe it’s weird for them, but I betcha many of my Republican colleagues on the Commerce Committee have environmental justice areas in their districts,” said DeGette.
  
  Sounds about right. >
  
  If anyone is confused, this has absolutely everything to do with lobbying and donations from companies oil companies, and chemical manufacturers like DuPont and Union Carbide, which continue to operate plants in areas of the country with rates of cancer 50-100 times the national average. >
  
  The cancer is just a coincidence! 😉💰 >
  
  Republicans against Justice! >
  
  I don't think the oil companies have thought this all the way through. How are they going to make money if most of human civilization has been destroyed by giant natural disasters? >
  
  That's a Q4 problem, all that matters right now are the Q2 numbers >
  
  Fuck Q2! We’re in Q1. What can we destroy today? >

  Conservatives are trying to protect the hierarchy, not the environment. They want to make sure the traditional of doing business is not disrupted. While they are aware of the dangers of climate change, they are relucant to implement a solution unless it is profitable to their interests and doesn't interfere with their business model. They will only take climate change serious once renewal energy outperforms fossil fuels. Which should be happening in about twenty or so years. >
  
  Environmental justice also refers to things like putting a smog producing factory or something that contaminates the water into poor neighborhoods so wealthy people don't have to feel the burden of their own actions. Then those communities get cancer, asthma, or other issues that keep them from gainful employment, successful schooling, and in poverty. Then, of course, the Gops call them welfare queens for needing assistance escaping the poison Republicans put into them in the first place. >
  
  Environmentalism needs to return to its clean air/waterways roots. The reason the movement started in the US was partly because the freaking river caught on fire.
  As George Carlin said, "the Earth will be fine. Humans are f____d." >
  
  Conservatives would be happy to see this country burn as long as they can rule over the ashes. You’d think Covid dropping their numbers would have shown them they aren’t invincible… we all die >
  
  Geesh, even Hitler liked the countryside and nature more than these bottom feeders.
