We come across this a lot, i.e., the mass resignation of honest people in government positions when they are faced with extraordinary levels of corruption and other untenable positions. As the senator from Connecticut points out, this is a double-edged sword. We applaud their integrity, but we need to deal with the fact that the only people remaining are the bad apples.
This happens constantly in the parts of government that deal with energy and the environment. Many dozens of our top scientists in the Department of Energy and the EPA have resigned their positions since Donald Trump came on the scene, and right-wing politics have made it impossible for them to carry on with their duties. Whom does this leave? Climate deniers and others who reject (or don’t understand) basic science.
I’m sure this is the case in all 50 states.
In the U.S., you could no more get a conviction under these circumstances than you could fly to the moon on a surfboard.
Bertrand Russell has been dead for more than half a century, as so we can only speculate as to what he’d have to say about the Trump MAGA base.
If these people are anything, they’re cock-sure that God sent Trump to save our country from ruination by the radical left.
I wonder why this is an artist’s rendering and not a photograph of an actual installation.
Maybe it’s because the cost per KWh will be off the charts.
