This is not sustainable and it's just absolutely RIDICULOUS that someone hasn't just given $1 million to this fund. They CANNOT continue to have to raise money IN ADDITION to all the work they have to do. This is a fund run by VOLUNTEERS. And I'm sorry but the Left(s) talk about mutual aid a lot &

Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.
