Not just American lives.
The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family.
It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.

I cannot stress enough how enjoyable it is to deprive that withered old cunt of your money. Waterstones, Argos, Boots - it is so easy to get whatever you need, and it feels kinda fun, like taking a holiday in 90s Britain
Just ordered a book from my local Waterstones. Click and collect so I’ll get it on way home tonight. As cheap as Amazon. Also bought an instant camera earlier this week from Argos, cheaper than on Amazon. It’s proving very easy not to use the evil billionaire’s website. More of you should try it.

If you order your book from Hive, you can have it delivered to your local bookstore. The bookstore gets 10%. Last time I did this it was cheaper than Waterstones.

Exactly. What Boris did was a catalogue of criminal actions. Killing 1000s by failing to follow the science, handing contracts to his buddies, likely taking bribes from Russia, the list is endless. Boris was a deceitful corrupt man with charisma Starmer is a decent moral man who is a bit dull.
