    Fucking why?! Why would anyone even use them? Everyone knows how dangerous the loss of bees is to humanity as a whole.

      justification is less bees = more forage for birds during hunting season but...... 1. no that's not how it works and 2. that explanation is total BS

        wait what someone says that? I thought that "bees disappearing == bad" was about the only bipartisan issue remaining in the world...

          environmental protections don't matter if they result in 1 less dollar for the bourgeoisie. remember that the current US president has tweeted that climate change is a Chinese hoax.

      This is pretty much what I expected when he won. During the campaign trump touted how well the economy would do and whatever else. I think they're doing whatever they can possibly do to achieve the unrealistic goals trump set. For the model they use this means as many tax cuts as you can get and deregulating as much as possible. I think it'll be moderately effective too, but obviously this just hurts the economy, and environment in the long run. I just really hope he doesn't win again and we can get a president/congress that can start moving forward again.
