Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Like, most Republicans know that climate change is a thing, right?
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.

There's also that idea the environmental protections are just an excuse for liberal elites to control everybody's life.

Thrive to spite them
From time to time I see stuff like.. They said all the birds would be dead by now and they aren't!!!
Which is just...so frustrating.
But yeah there is this idea that I'd you take away regulations and laws businesses will still follow them . Even though there are still issues with compliance. Or if you take away regulations there will be more jobs.
