Should be known as SEPA: as in Screw the EPA. But sadly, it’s par for the course as the Project 25 ideology continues to be implemented. Borders on criminal, imo.

Laughable. That said, an activist and caring population would document corporations that abuse pollution controls and the public would force a change. But we all know that won't happen as that takes work.  More work at least than being outraged that a transgender influencer doing a Bud Light commercial.

The phrase that pays.

Water, essential for life!  Until you breathe it.

Those corporate abusers have been and continue to be well documented over the years. And all those regulations, instigated by an activist and caring population and a media that cared about their public trust responsibilities, were on the books to keep them accountable. But they are the among GOP’s largest donors (thanks Citizens United) and this corrupt administration knows where their bread is buttered. Trump literally offered oil companies roll backs in pollution regulations and unlimited drilling on federal lands in exchange for $1b in donations to his campaign and they are just keeping their promises to the big polluters.

Of course.  And for all the documentation and awareness those corporate abusers have documented and shared there is little to no change in the behavior of the general public.

The sci-fi trend of the intergalactic being run by corporations didn't just start when Trump became President.  This has been the trend for a long, long time.  The people just sit back and allow it.  This is what prompts fiction writers to envision those dystopian futures.

Hell, the other day I saw someone on LinkedIN refer to themselves as having a career in Human Capital Management.  While people are resources, it really negates the humanity of it when you begin to refer to them as the same as a fleet of vehicles, etc.
