Republicans don’t care if they make average people sick. They only care about their billionaire donors.

Cash is the only motive for shit like this, deep betrayels of life itself, not merely us humans, but where we ARE concerned, I do indeed believe wholeheartedly that inflicting tangible harm upon the population is at least as important for them as the money is.

I believe that Trump and the Republicans en masses desire to inflict as much hazard, injury, and death upon the American people as they possibly can, in all manner of wicked ways such as this.

voters. I don't think they are for the most part sadistic. I just think they move populations around to live and die because they see more power and therefore cash in it. And the biggest cause of global climate change is the number of surviving children you have. So i bet they see themselves as the real environmentslists by keeping numbers down around the world, not liberals.

Its population control, pure and simple. That way, the 1% don't have to get, their hands dirty.

I normally hesitate to use that word, but I think it really does apply to those who would poison our planet, increase birth defects, and shorten the lives of thousands of people in order to make rich polluters even richer
