    “Compulsive liars are, in fact, lying about this too.”

    Not knocking the guardian or the article, to be clear. The truth still needs to be reported and documented.

    It’s just so fucking exhausting living under an administration that lies about literally everything it does.

    What is this, time number 37522836282637382 that we’re told “let the billionaires not pay tax, you’ll get more taxes!” “Let the corporations not pay tax, you’ll get lower prices!” “Let the industries be deregulated you get lower prices!” “Cut funding for social programs you’ll get better private industry products!” “Do X thing for Y outcome that makes no logical sense other than to make me more rich!”

      Pretty much. They simultaneously claim in the same press release that removing all the CO2 from the atmosphere would drop temperatures, while saying that it is a greenhouse gas and that adding more does nothing. None of it is meant to make sense; just be word salad to confuse.

    Yes and. > Yet the EPA’s own analysis, published with the new rule, outlines a very different picture. Retail electricity prices will actually be 0.7% higher in 2030

    So… not lower.
    And even if they were lower; what utility is going to pass those massive savings down to consumers??
