I'm not going to get involved with in depth analysis of this bullshit. My opinion doesn't mean anything anyways, none of ours does.
One thing i will say though, for how much our government "cares" about global pollution and global warming and is willing to shove taxes down our throat to try and stop it, WHY don't they lead by example?
EXAMPLE
Every base here in Iraq (and im sure Afghanistan etc) Burns all of there trash, all day and all night.
We walk through a thick black haze of burnt chemicals, tires and anything and everything else, DAILY.
I have people here that are literally coughing up blood when they run outside or are outside for extended periods of time, not to mention our fucking Maintainers that work on our broke ass planes 24/7 being sick all the time and coughing up blood, Why should our government make us "care" or "tax" us in order to fix this, or shove these bullshit bills down our throats and put on a front that they care when they won't even do what they can to fix our own issues ?
