Fox News, lol. You failed to mention that rule doesn't take effect until 2027. Context matters, ask Tucker about that.
Tyranny. EPA is evil.
That’s their plan
That's what the BIG corps pay politicians for. To do their dirty work.
It's already recking California.
That's the entire point of the regulations.
Do you get it yet? That’s the whole point.

That's all part of the plan.
Fascism.
