Well fuck, Scott Pruitt got confirmed. I knew he would, but I still have to say 'fuck'.
We'd be dead. Can't get paid if you're dead.

I just had a brief discussion with a co-worker about how that could explain why Mother Nature is all pissed off and thinking about flooding us.

I don't get it. I feel like, secretly, House/Senate Republicans MUST be like "Yo this is all crazy", and yet they just keep confirming his batshit insane Cabinet nominees! Like, most Republicans know that climate change is a thing, right? Only the truly unhinged were denying that these days, I thought.

I don't know. However, I don't think very many think it's a big deal or think there's not much to be done about it.

The other thing is that he still has a sky high approval rating with Republicans.

Even if they don't, there are SO MANY OTHER THINGS that the EPA does! Clean air! Clean water! Toxic waste disposal! Poison control! Cleaning up sites like Love Canal! Fixing the lead in the pipes in places like Flint!
I have been to China, and the air there is a fucking nightmare. The EPA serves a public health function, and I'm really worried about cancer and asthma rates in the near future.

Yeah, but the GOP's official stance has been that government regulation is just not necessary for pretty much anything, the market will take care of it.
