So essentially longweekend is correct, and you dont think for yourself, just blindly follow.

Alright, wtf is awrite?

Ghetto.

Projects is what I'm assuming you're trying to say. But hey continue with this EPA thread of allowing pollution.

But wouldn't you think it appropriate that if there was a high risk of environmental damage from such a pipeline that it should be halted?

...............It could not look more grave, more straightforwardly destructive. Below a simple title—H. R. 861, A BILL TO TERMINATE THE EPA—runs the staggering text:

The Environmental Protection Agency shall terminate on December 31, 2018




Here lies the illustrious EPA: established in 1970 by President Richard Milhous Nixon, strengthened by the Supreme Court and George H. W. Bush, and murdered in the first month of the Trump administration. And the man who did the deed is Matt Gaetz, a 34-year-old Republican who represents Florida’s 1st district. He has been in Congress for all of a month. The blood of the air itself is on his hands. (Don’t question that metaphor.)

H. R. 861 is real—its page on Congress.gov has gone viral over the past few weeks—but the reality that it proposes to enact will not arrive any time soon. This Congress will almost certainly not terminate the EPA, and, even if it does, H. R. 861 is not the legislative blade it will wield. H. R. 861 is a classic piece of stunt legislation: It is short, punchy, without co-sponsors, and introduced by a novice legislator. Gaetz may accomplish nothing else of note this year, but he can truthfully tell his constituents that he proposed terminating the EPA.........

That's your idea of accepting I was right and you were wrong. I accept your apology.

I thought he meant Big Ag.


But if he meant Pharma its idiotic in two levels.

1. The spelling
2. The FDA deals with pharmaceuticals not really the EPAs mandate

The US is a litigious society, anyone polluting may be held to account via the civil courts.

OK I am grasping at straws here.
