EPA approves sale of a higher-ethanol fuel to try to lower gas prices

The Environmental Protection Agency has announced it would allow gas stations to continue selling slightly cheaper E15 this summer in a move that may be good for drivers and corn growers but will likely contribute to air pollution.

@ai6yr Great! So lemme see if I've got this right:

President Netanyahu attacked Iran using the American treasury and military, so the Israeli military could attack Lebanon and Gaza.

Our military killed a bunch of little girls. Israeli military dispossessed 1.5 million people. Iran shut down the Strait and proceeded to destroy billions of dollars of air defense weapons we paid for.

We lifted sanctions on Russia and Iran.

We bought 14 billion dollars of Iranian oil, using Chinese currency.

We've blown through the planet's carbon budget for the year AND we're gonna make it worse.

We're sending American soldiers into a killbox on purpose...so Israel can annex southern Lebanon? Because Israel is the only one gaining anything from any of this.

This is all so goddamned insane. And the House and Senate are letting it happen because they need to protect pedophiles more than populations. I hate this stupid timeline so much.

@MissConstrue It's quite the accelerationist/worst-thing-possible kinda timeline, yes. And all those "we are voting this way because we are tired of US tax money being spent on war in Ukraine/egg prices are expensive/why is inflation increasing" people... not a peep.
