IHouse Republicans approved legislation Friday that would slash nearly 40 percent of the budget for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The funding bill, passed by a 213-203 vote, cuts 39 percent of the EPA’s budget and would be the smallest budget the agency has had in three decades. Republican Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Mike Lawler (N.Y.) and Marc Molinaro (N.Y.) voted against the bill, while Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (Texas) was recorded as voting for it.

    You know why. But congrats that you got that little ping of dopamine that you get when you “slightly annoy” or fuck with a couple dozen strangers on the internet. That sweet little hit.

    But I also bet you get that second, likely smaller ping as well. That one doesn’t feel quite as nice, but you’re learning to push it to the back, not let it effect you. But it effects you. Every time it takes something away from you and you can feel it. Or at least you used to… until you let it die. And you can’t help but feel something else (your empathy perhaps) is gone with it. Forever.
