As have food stamps

Not sure about the EPA but I don’t trust companies to not fuck up our natural resources

But do you think the government does a good job?

There’s so many loopholes

If something doesn’t work properly, you fix it

And companies who get blocked by the EPA would just leave

Like in Cali

I’d rather have fewer jobs and a clean world

We kind of agree there

Kind of

I think we can do both

Without regulation?

Maybe

How? Wouldn’t profit make companies ignore short term environmental damage?

Like... has been happening?

That’s my point

The EPA doesn’t work

If anything that’s the argument for improving the EPA

I guess

Look I’m not making the argument that government programs are smoothly run

Or perfectly efficient

lol

But I do feel that they’re necessary

And should be worked on

I just think that there’s better solutions than holding companies at gunpoint

I’m interested to hear these solutions

Well we’d need a specific problem first

Well we can start with your problem with the EPA

No I mean like environmental problems

Lol, nice username, how come you changed it to that? @Colonel Sanders™

People kept confusing better dead than red (communist) with red conservative

I don’t know wahx I’m not an environmental expert but when it comes to the government robbing companies of the opportunity to conduct business because they damage some forest or something I think it’s idiotic

There’s certain environmental problems that are insanely serious but others that are enforced are just stupid

Like CO2 emissions is incredibly dumb to enforce considering there’s insufficient data to support its effect on the planet

But things like the plastic in the pacific

I don’t know I’m probably just an idiot

I work with climate research professors, and they have different things to say about CO2, especially in how it’s affecting our oceans

But I think a larger point is how much should we care about the environment? That’s what you’re saying, basically

And I would rather have human growth than a single forest, but I’m worried about long term trends and their affect on our planet

Because, most seriously, we are going to get millions of immigrants if the equator gets hotter
