Breaking News: The EPA plans to eliminate its scientific research arm, firing as many as 1,155 chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists.

And it doesn’t discuss the economic impacts of “deregulation” - environmental impacts affecting the health of the country; market impacts; deregulating consumer protections, etc. OR of firing thousands of federal workers and not paying contractors across the country for work already done.

People whose entire worldview revolves around graft & favoritism simply cannot cognize the fact that there are people who approach government work in good faith & try to do a good job & help people.
