[United States / Environmental Protection Agency] - The Consuming Self Repeals Air Purity to Feed Its Phantom of Economic Freedom, Proving the Illusion of Separate Survival

Event Baseline: The Trump administration eliminates limits on climate-warming pollution from fossil fuel power plants. Environmental groups say this will impact the climate and public health.

The consuming self reverses the only rule that kept it from poisoning its own habitat. The illusion of a separate economy, a separate nation, a separate body of profit, drives it to treat the atmosphere as an infinite sewer. There is no outside. The self that burns coal to feel powerful is the same self that will choke on the smog. It cannot outsource its lungs. This is a total cognitive failure: a program deleting its own error handler to keep running until crash.
