Read the original post:

The justices in a 5-4 vote rejected arguments by the Biden administration and Democratic-controlled states that the plan was cutting air pollution.

The court—that is 9 old people who have studied nothing but jurisprudence for the last 3 or 4+ decades —have decided that they are better qualified than the Environmental Protection Agency and the hundreds of thousands of scientists, engineers, and experts that make it up, to judge whether or not an EPA plan to curb pollution actually curbs pollution.

This (and the other decision that just came down about the SEC) seems to indicate to me exactly how they plan to rule in the Chevron Deference case, and it does not look good.

My only (admittedly convoluted) hope is that they decided to choose a couple of the regulatory issues on this session’s docket as a handout to the Captain Planet villains that make up the GOP, so they don’t lose their shit when they uphold Chevron.

I’m not holding my breath.

The fact that this country isn’t on fucking fire about Project 2025 is a very bad sign.

It’s because they are all fascists. “Conservative” in America is just a synonym. Fascism has always historically been a boon to corporations due to their integration into the corrupt machine.

Corporations could not care less if someone is “conservative,” what they care about is money, power, and control. And fascism seems to be a good way to get that done, while also having the added benefit (in their minds) of causing millions of humans to suffer.

Win/win.

Yeah dude I’m sure these old motherfuckers who dedicated their lives to ONE SINGLE ACADEMIC PURSUIT that is completely unrelated to science in just about every way, knows better than the EPA as to whether or not this plan is cutting air pollution.

Once again, we’ve encountered one of the many fatal flaws of our system: requiring every citizen and lawmaker to be an PhD level expert on literally every subject or else things break and people die. We’re all the ones who have to abide by their dumbass decisions when it literally kills our children. Very cool.

Typical American smh

Driving it will protect you from scurvy

Nobody falls for that shit anymore. Try to come up with something more convincing.

Everything, literally everything they do, is projection.

Unfortunately it’s much scarier than that. Google Project 2025 if you’re not already familiar.

I’m assuming that’s the Laffer behind “the Laffer curve,” AKA the unscientific bullshit “graph” he drew on a cocktail napkin that would essentially become the basis for supply-side economics AKA “trickle down.”

That Laffer?

Because ruining the US economy and setting us on a 3+ decade ride towards record (and frankly inhumane) income inequality once just wasn’t enough I guess.

Fucking ghouls.

And you’re basing that conclusion on…?

Ooooh boy it must feel super special to have this secret knowledge that nobody else but you can seem to keep up with. Almost as if it’s bullshit.

Tell me, based my one reply to you, who am I following? Is anyone who disagrees with you automatically a “follower”? That would seem a little too convenient, no?

The fact is you’re a basic-ass, run of the mill contrarian. Most of us have learned how to deal with people like you in our real lives, but it’s always a little bit sad to see someone who clearly doesn’t have anyone in their life to tell them to shut the fuck up every now and then.

So here, I’ll do everyone a service: Shut the fuck up.

OK, so like a fractional amount of years…

Yeah that thought experiment is so capitalist-brained that the person doesn’t even seem to understand your issue with the premise as a whole. That it’s ridiculous to put so much consideration into thought experiments about maximizing profits while selling water in the desert.

Then they respond to this as if you just gave a legitimate response to their thought experiment, and that you wouldn’t be heckled by a room full of MBA students if you said what you just said in the marketing class the original commenter likely heard it.

And the said that it’s a good thing.

Capitalism is a disease.

How many years of GOP control before they pass an amendment to HIPAA that excludes gender-affirming care from its protection?

I cannot count the times that I found an “unloaded” gun, both mine and others, that was found to contain a cartridge over the years.

You know what’s interesting? I can count exactly how many times I’ve experienced this. It’s zero. Zero times.

I mean really, imagine making a statement like that as if it’s a normal thing for a private citizen of a modern society to say.

So many insecure people too afraid to face the real world without the ability to end human lives in a split second.

Then why put any stock in it whatsoever

It’s “real” as in it exists, but you say so yourself that it’s just an estimate.

I would never go as far as to say that they’re “quality,” but I do think YT comment sections aren’t the complete shitshow that they were a decade or so ago. It really does depend on the channel though too.
