    Thank Trump and God, I guess, we’ll make the EPA unconstitutional soon by repealing the Chevron Deference… then this backwards alarmist interventionalist bullshit will be removed and corporations will be free to optimize for shareholder values - like Jesus intended.

    Praise Trump!

        Sorry, I have cousins who will write things like that non sarcastically. We’ve gotten into such a sad state as a country.

          Poe’s Law. Sarcasm doesn’t translate well over text when there are people that unironically say that shit.
