According to two people familiar with the draft, it would eliminate the bedrock scientific finding that greenhouse-gas emissions threaten human life by dangerously warming the planet.

Is this something that can be reversed in a subsequent administration or something we will be stuck with if the rebublicants dont steal the next election?

    Rules made by humans are entirely able to be changed by humans.

    Nothing this administration does is technically irreversible. It just depends on how far you are willing to go to reverse it.

    Sure. Pollute the planet. Make people suffer. Make corporations richer. Keep people distracted. Dicators playbook.

    My only solace is knowing that after a couple years, the rich people are going to suffer even worse. Us poors are at least going have some shambles of a system to work with. But once we gone, how long do you think it's going to take your private security to get hungry, or realize that what you're paying them is useless. I'd say I pity them for the torture they going to endure at the hands of people who couldn't even become cops, but I relish in it.

    You gotta remember there's rich, and then there's "bunker in Hawaii" rich, which is a growing population of the ultra-rich leeches. The likes of Zuckbot aren't going to have to rely on private security.

    But what's their long-term plan, really? They don't realize how utterly dependent they are on other people, and when shit hits the fan, other people aren't going to feel so motivated to defend them. There's a great video of Douglas Rushkoff talking about a billionaires convention he attended. They really think they're going to chill in their bunkers and eat gourmet food indefinitely.

    The stories out of Rushkoff’s work about how the rich sought advice about ensuring the loyalty of their bunker and being told that they need to have their staff actually like them as people. The rich did not want to hear that and kept asking for solutions like shocking them and starving them. Those bunkers will be like Lord of the Flies when shit hits the fan.
