Day of Light, 59th of Summer, 525 M.E. (Atlas): Early this year, Lee Zeldin, a mainstream Long Island Republican, became the Stable Genius' Administrator of the EPA. So how are things going now, six months into the Zeldin Era? I searched the NY Times website for the keyword "EPA," and, oh my god, the results:  

EPA Is Said to Draft a Plan to End Its Ability to Fight Climate Change

EPA Mounts Broad Retreat On Pollution

The world is careening past tipping point after tipping point on the climate, the pervasiveness of plastics and forever chemicals, and on cancer risks, and the Stable Genius is directing the EPA to abandon regulations in order to make things "cheaper." Cheaper is nice, but the real goal isn't to ease the burden on consumers but to sell more shit so the corporations can make more money with higher profit margins.

It's greed, not nuclear weapons or some asteroid, that's going to end life on this planet but, oh, the wealth that last living person will have accumulated!
