Deep down I knew there was no chance it wasn’t forced. They’re actively ignoring other court orders so I guess even these evil fucks sometimes realize to pick their battles.
They’re fully aware most of their policies are going to get shot down in court, that’s why they’re carpet bombing the US with bullshit right now.
If we all breath a sigh of relief that some new policy to force toddlers to work in slaughterhouses got shot down, we’re likely missing the 30 odd, convoluted deregulation policies that slip right past the new cycle because they’re written in legalese and seem abstract to 99% of non-wealthy Americans.
I don’t know how many times I can scream that they’re robbing us blind while distracting us with stupid cultural nonsense.
Things could be so much better, but on a few occasions I have been pleased to see that even Trump can’t stop environmental progress. Coal will never be big again, and renewables are still the best way to fix rising utility prices; in large part because of what Democratic presidents have built over decades. Pro-environment groups are still doing their damnedest even in a hostile administration.
Yeah, it’s insane. The belief is still around that if you care about the environment at all that makes you some kind of leftist political revolutionary/hippie. But to me it just means you have an iota of foresight.
Cutting down forests without looking strongly toward the consequences of that is just fucking stupid and pathetic. The US has practically zero old growth forests. Changing the makeup of the forest has fucked, and will fuck, with the ecosystem, which we are not apart from. It affects us eventually. In ways we cannot predict. It’s a moronic move and it will harm future generations of humans, if not the current ones.

Oh I know. Climate change is getting accelerated as fuck right now. And so many other things you cannot even know what to be most concerned about

What you wrote here is encouraging. Though I was thinking specifically about trump opening national forests for logging which is just disgusting.
I don’t care how desperate someone is for a job, anybody who even approaches a national forest or park with a chainsaw…

Real talk though if they ever put chunks of BLM land up for sale I’m snatching up as much as I can.
Actually, if the economy crashes (like under the pandemic) that will slow climate change quicker than our proposed mitigation plans.
100% they’re literally diarrhoea-shitting policies up the wall and seeing which fecal stains the courts and the economy miss or don’t care about.
This is a success. We need to do more now. No relief, just motivation.
