shut it down. ignore the epa. fuck the national government, act in open revolt. its over, stop listening to them out of some sort of misguided sense of "well if we just go along with it now, later we can deal with the consequences" OR we can stop.
its our government. we made the rules. we can break them in times of need. this is that time. close the fucking coal power plant as planned, fuck what these people who EVERYONE KNOWS has bullshit intentions says. just ignore them. they have no power if we all stop listening
"but they have guns"
they cant kill us all. and if you think itll get to that point, then youre to blame for letting it get this bad in the first place. the time to sit the fuck around and watch football and wait for the midterms nd hope it doesnt get too much worse is long past- by a few decades at least
stop listening to the stupid bullshit the administration says. states, gang together, fuck the national govt until it gets its shit together
why is this so hard- this is what we get for voting career politicans into office. theyre all too scared to do something that could get them primaried- not by the will of the people, but of their party overlords- and so this is what we get, because we were too lazy to participate ourselves. in true american fashion, instead of taking turns in the government before returning to our nornal lives, as was the plan and makes sense, we outsourced the running of our communities to career politicians who we vote into office time and time again, politicians backed by the factory owners we've been fighting since factories came about
not with a bang, but with a pathetic, lazy, spoiled whimper
Yes, the plant's owner is leaving it shut down. They're not completely ignoring the order though; they're challenging it in court
yay! this is fantastic news
resist. resist. resist.
