So, basically nothing then
When 80% of the pollution comes from China, regulating the US won’t do much
Accurate
That includes air and water pollution
Either everyone has to play by the rules, or nobody will. Because playing by the rules when others don't puts you in a disadvantaged situation
Which only helps the ones not playing by the ruels

What about the rollback on environmental protections?
The biggest pollution producers are in the cities where liberals are in control. LA, New York, Chicago. Why haven't they done anything to fix their own issues?
Should nobody help them?
if I shoot myself in the foot, I dont have a right to force my neighbor to drive me to the hospital
Help who? The liberal politicians?
The people in those cites who are human beings.
People need to be held responsible for their bad policies
And the innocent people suffer
look at Baltimore
2 corrupt mayors in a row
Also it doesnt help anyone when the figureheads of the climate activists are doing everything they tell others not to do
The response translated
> Dear #Greta, thank you for supporting us railroad workers in the fight against climate change! We were pleased that you were on the ICE 74 with us on Saturday. And with 100 percent green electricity.

> It would have been even nicer if you had also reported how friendly and competent you were looked after by our team at your seat in first class.

Well, those people in those cities need to get rid of the corruption before any healing can begin. If you keep voting for people based on Party lines, and never giving anyone a chance that might actually do something, that's sorta on you
And what should the federal government do? Pay the states relief so they can launder it away to themselves?
Every time the federal government does a state bailout or gives funds to the states over half of the funds go to the politicians, and when states want to keep feeding off the feds the feds make stipulations for states to obey
There is no solution to do this federally as in the long run it harms everyone
Nothing like ever climbing taxes and ages of consumption
The government is terribly inefficient
Yes. That’s why donald trump has cleaned out personnel....and called out Baltimore and PR out on Twitter
State government tends to be far more efficient, federal government is supposed to be an arbitrator and minor regulator for interactions between the states
Trumps "rollbacks" are less rollbacks and more attempting to set the federal government closer to what its intended goal is
That goes back to what I said a bit ago. He levelled the playing field for Americans
We can't be limited when nobody else is. It puts us at a disadvantage
In the US if you want environmental protection, then given the variations between the states and available funds, it is up to those states to make those mandates, no federal blanket mandate is going to do it

Ive seen greater climate change activism in the midwest through choice of communities and people opting in than in what the federal government has tried to push
So what's the deal with impeachment?
I hear Adam Schiff is largely disliked.
There are two articles of impeachment. Abuse of power. And obstruction of congress (well only half of them)
But when I watch the hearings I see a man of integrity
This is all related to Ukraine and nothing else
He's literally standing there lying
making things up
What lies?
Have to go for a bit, so I'll leave this and leave y'all to the impeachment chat
