People who work at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy are having a hard time coping with the election of Donald Trump as president, with many reporting depression and some being advised to take sick leave, according to an article published Friday by Environment and Energy Publishing (E&E).
U.S. EPA employees were in tears, the article stated. Worried Energy Department staffers were offered counseling.
Some federal employees were so depressed, they took time off, it stated. Others might retire early.
And some employees are in downright panic mode in the aftermath of Donald Trump's victory, the article said.

Polluted water and air dont recognize state borders for example.
So what legal options does a state have to stop a neighboring state from polluting air and water that blows and flows into the downstream state?
In other words, what federal law can the downstream state complain that its neighbor is breaking since the states have never delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate environmental protections?
And if the states ever expressly constitutional delgate environmental protection powers to Congress, then elected members of Congress must to take full responsibility for those powers, not non-elected bureaucrats.
No such things were ever the purpose of the EPA. And we do have courts for such things notwithstanding; there is no need for a centralized agency answerable only to the POTUS to churn out job-killing dictates, which is what the EPA actually does.
The tastiest of tears come from government employees...
More like dictator’s goons/toadies.
As the Big Zero said, elections have consequences.
Now is time for environmentalists to get some “tough love.”
You make me happier with every thread :)
I wish I could grab that picture from Naked Gun 2 when the waitress is walking around with a box full of nooses and and all kinds of stuff to do yourself in :)
And the song being sung: Could be EPA workers’ song this week to Trump :)
“I’m feeling blue, just thinking of you
Get out of bed, Wish I were dead
and I hope you do too.
So I have given up, I’ve thrown in the towel
I’ve taken all the pills the law will allow...
A noose or a gun would get the job done”
:)
Get lois Lerner of the Irs too
They need obamacare for their mental problems.
LOL guess we have to manually use it. :)
This is easy.
Move the agency HQ to Anchorage.
No new or replacement hires.
Watch what happens next. :-)
They know that justice is coming..... and it’s coming for them.
It's budget in 2012 was 30.6 BILLION dollars of taxpayer money.
It's now 39 years leter and the DOE is still sucking up money and have we ever been weaned off of foreign oil???
No wonder its time for Trump to deep six this and several other useless Government Departments.
And three hundred million American citizens hearts leapt for joy! Praise God, very son now, the national nightmare we have endured for the last eight years will quickly come to a resounding end!
Wouldn’t apply to this situation. Seppuku would demand that the person have a sense of honor and dignity. EPA “employees” have neither.
As the saying goes, directed to these people, “Cry me a river”.
Well, maybe not.
The pollution would be awful.
Funny. :-)
Sadly all too true.
