[Judge Bean]

Oh BS.

[Texas Eagle]

Key phrase: projected to.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Took 5 to write that.

[hercuroc]

Lol AP worries about the 30000 killed but not the millions from abortion.

[Candor7]

The Greenies see their end of empowerment for Marxism ending. Capitalist free economy is on the way back, and IT’S GOING TO MAKE US DIE !

Poppycock.

If the left greenies stopped smoking weed and eating cannabis gummies, they would live a lot longer.

[lastchance]

Are we all dead yet?

[BipolarBob]

If the left greenies stopped smoking weed and eating cannabis gummies, they would live a lot longer.

No, it would just seem like it's a lot longer.

“the EPA-targeted rules could prevent an estimated 30,000 deaths and”
Me not eating beans could prevent “an estimated” 30,000 deaths from air pollution. It’s just an estimate though. Bean-eating countries like Mexico have lower life expectancy. So that’s all the proof we need. Ready to publish my research paper.

[BipolarBob]

Well if it’s life expectancy you’re after, men live an average of 76 years while women live to 83 years so if you wanted to transition . . .

[Steely Tom]

Trump killing people again.

[Candor7]

Exactly.. Which is the point.They are dying of the weed slowly while we dodge coal dust particles and live a whole lot longer.

[Steve_Seattle]

Key phrase: “ESTIMATED deaths from coal pollution”.

[meyer]

Deaths from coal pollution - do they have any proof of any of those deaths being from coal pollution? I’m sure that some are, but if you don’t establish each case, then it’s but an estimate. And if the estimate comes from a government agency whose existence depends on finding demons (like the EPA), then by golly, they will find numbers to support their moves to go at those demons.

[alternatives?]

30,000 is a made up number.

[MAGAthon]

give it up Seth. no-one believes you, even when you have a whole team to write this rubbish with you.

[j.havenfarm]

Exactly my thought. But also this: the heartwarming yet completely irrelevant pictures of the experts’ children. How come they’re all suffering from significant medical conditions, including the obese boy lying on the bed. There’s something not right about that

[FLT-bird]

Gaia Worshipers wailing and moaning that we will not be sacrificing our economy to Gaia.

Everybody sees what that is doing for the German, British and Spanish economies.

[boomop1]

Believe nothing The AP.

[Nateman]

Poverty shortens lives. Regulation makes life more expensive. Deregulation, therefore , SAVES lives!
