I won’t miss him. Never thought he was the right guy for the job

Yeah, he was a bit dirty it appears, but he gutted alot of regulations.

We can only hope his replacement guts them just as fast, or even faster.

I am happy too but why are you so ecstatic?

Both are more worthy than lifer politicians who usually fill the job.



Spare us the Chicken Little scare tactics you guys have been spewing since before I was even born.

There's a reason GDP growth under Trump is beating Obama's growth so quickly, and regulation cuts a key reason.

When you get government mandates and red tape out of the way, our private sector economy booms.

What does this even mean?

Who are "you guys" that you are foolishly trying to group me with?

Are you are a big fan of Chicken Little? I've never watched it, that's an obscure reference.

You are older than me (I think you said you were in your 40s?)...I wasn't doing anything before you were born lol.

If they changed the name of the organisation to the "Environmental Destruction Agency" I'd have much less of an issue with it.

Scott Pruitt is a corrupt scumbag either way. I am anti-corruption period. I don't care about political parties.

Reducing red tape/regulation is not necessarily a bad thing but it should not imo come at the cost of the environment.

Nutty environmentalist and the fools who believe them.

You're in the latter category.

My point is you guys have been saying for decades how mankind is going to destroy the planet.

Back in my day it was cars as the cause that I first heard.

Then it was a coming Ice Age.

Then it was the ozone hole.

Then it was Global Warming.

Now its climate change.

But amazingly, no matter what the cause de jour was, the solution was always the same; more regulations and taxes, and less freedoms of choice.

How anyone with a room temp IQ falls for their scams anymore is beyond me.

Exactly right.

I wonder what the next excuse will be...

The antediluvians did induce the ice age and there is presently manmade climate change and Revelations does tell us that human environmental abuse will catapult the Apocolypse.

Unfortunately, the Democrats focus all the blame on baby Co2 breathers instead of the real villains like fiscal conservatives and their lobbies while you Republicans just keep canonizing the works of Rupert Murdoch, laughing to the bank, building walls, etc
