She is acting on behalf of lobbyists. That’s how America got to this stage. Lobbyist lawyers and marketers write laws that benefit them, and they “donate” to politicians to pass that legislation.

We won’t stop burning fossil fuels until it’s illegal and militaries use force to destroy all extraction facilities, just like we won’t reduce our plastic consumption until it’s heavily restricted.

- Comment on Bluesky now platform of choice for science community 5 weeks ago:
Why is all of scientific research locked behind paywalls instead of some open source scientist-built system?

Yep. It makes it blatantly clear how every genocide, war crime, and atrocity in history has ever happened.
