By Matt Underwood E.P.A. Says It Will Eliminate Its Scientific Research Arm. Okay, so this is happening. The E.P.A., the Environmental Protection Agency, is apparently going to eliminate its scientific research arm. Let that sink in for a moment. Science. Research. Gone. It’s like a punch to the gut for anyone who values, you know, facts and understanding.
It’s hard not to feel a sense of deep frustration. We’re talking about a career path, years of education, that seems to be crumbling under the weight of, well, frankly, ignorance. I mean, who needs science when you’re apparently “in God’s hands,” as some would argue? It’s a terrifying thought for anyone who believes in, well, reality.
The implications are staggering. How can we possibly protect our environment, our health, our future, if we’re actively dismantling the very tools we need to understand and address these critical issues? The idea that corporations will just take it upon themselves to ensure our safety is, to be blunt, laughable. We all know the priority of corporations is profit, not public safety. This decision will eliminate any grounds for a lawsuit.
And here’s the really ugly part. It seems to be part of a larger pattern. This is part of an extreme agenda, possibly from Project 2025. The very same folks who voted this in seem to love pollution. It’s like we’re actively choosing to be less informed, less prepared, and less capable of dealing with the challenges we face. This is the kind of thing that can get reversed next year when every single republican gets voted out of congress for being pedophiles, it’s going to take years to undo the damage.
The political motivations behind this are, I think, painfully clear. It’s about control, about bending reality to fit a particular worldview, no matter the cost. And the cost is going to be incredibly high. This will take generations to repair, or maybe never.
We are supposed to be a superpower. We are supposed to be the leaders in innovation and progress. And yet, we’re acting like a country that’s actively trying to shoot itself in the foot. The idea is that when you don’t test for something, it doesn’t exist. It’s a recipe for disaster. This country is basically giving up on its awesomeness, sadly.
The consequences of this decision are going to be felt for decades. Our water is clean and air is healthy precisely because of the EPA and other agencies. We’re getting rid of them to go backwards. Our country is getting dumber every week. China and Europe will benefit massively from this brain drain.
The memories of the Nazi Occultism series and the part where the Nazis eliminated science since it disagreed with their ideology and forced in their pseudoscience, which helped lead up to the Holocaust are quite jarring. This is the kind of thing that can get reversed next year when every single republican gets voted out of congress for being pedophiles.
This isn’t just about science; it’s about the kind of society we want to live in. Do we want a society that values knowledge, critical thinking, and the pursuit of truth, or do we want one that prioritizes ignorance and blind faith? The choice, unfortunately, seems to be becoming increasingly clear. The EPA will be renamed. How does this sound? **E**very **P**ollutant **A**llowed.
I see the work of dedicated scientists. They are dedicated to research based on solid research and statistical outcomes. This makes me sick to the point of wishing Trumps minions would get cryptosporidium and crap themselves into extinction while suffering from mercury and lead poisoning.
This is a sad story. It makes me incredibly upset, because the people didn’t take Project 2025 seriously. This decision comes after a Supreme Court ruling allowing the Trump administration to slash the federal workforce and dismantle agencies. We will suffer the consequences of these shortsighted decisions for decades.
The decline is pathetically comical. Who knew making America “great again” would require also making us dumb as fuck by decapitating science and R&D? It’s heartbreaking to witness the destruction of something so vital to our collective well-being. The fact that this decision is happening is embarrassing and will be a bitter regret down the road.
