There was a story about a guy at Crane Naval Base in Indiana where all he did for 10 years was come to work, check out a truck, drive around town for 8 hours, then check it back in at the end of the day.

What's the downside to this?

The climate Nazis are sad. No more thieving, bullying and stealing from the American people. They all need to be locked up.

While the EPA is arguably a good idea, it was wrongly established without the required consent of the Contitution’s Article V state supermajority.

And corrupt Congress is wrongly letting non-elected EPA bureaucrats get away with stealing 10th Amendment-protected state powers to burden citizens with regulations that the feds have no express constitutional authority to make.

I would pay money to see Trump walk in the EPA headquarters and start asking questions to random employees.

Hey you, who are you and what do you do here? Or just walk through and catch them sleeping at their desks.

I had an elderly client, a widow, with a furnace fuel oil tank that leaked a small puddle. They wanted to send a crew in Hazmat suits, excavate and replace a y few cubic yards of soil. Would have cost thousands.
Told them to go away and they did.

I cannot think of any argument that can establish that a centralized “environmental protection agency” a good idea, WADR. Or even a decentralized one.

Is it illegal to say that if any of them are suicidal that would be willing to loan them a .357?

It will be when murdering the English language actually becomes a crime.

The EPA has become a terrorist arm of the communist Democrat Party. You know they are worried...and saddened. Yet so emboldened over the past eight years.

Thank you Lord God Almighty. Amen.

That’s ok. Some folks around here believe we should keep these agencies, just downsize them.
