    The trucking industry has also been fighting the Environmental Protection Agency’s new emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks — another rule that Vance and his colleagues tried to kill.

    You would think someone who wants people to have more children would want to preserve the environment and improve it. But I am sure people like this somehow want to believe that they will be immune to the negative consequences of such decision making. The environment impacts us all, you can’t live in an enclosure safe from the detrimental effects of a hostile or unlivable planet.

      He’s a fucking Catholic. Guarantee he doesn’t even believe in human caused climate change (at least as far as the character JD Vance is concerned, who knows what the person playing Peter Thiel’s sock puppet actually thinks)

      Oh he doesn’t want the children to actually be healthy or prosper, just bring them into the world.
