Court sides with Republican states as ruling represents landmark moment in rightwing effort to dismantle ‘regulatory state’

flooding, heatwaves and droughts around the world, as well as killing millions of people through toxic air.

Roberts was joined by the conservative justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. The three liberal justices, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer dissented. It is the most important climate change case to come before the supreme court in more than a decade.

It could fundamentally change what the federal government is and what it does. And, as justice Elena Kagan pointed out in her dissent, it could leave technical decisions to a political body that may not understand them. Several conservatives on the court have criticized what they see as the unchecked power of federal agencies, concerns evident in orders throwing out two Biden policies aimed at reducing the spread of Covid-19.

One policy is that of the US government - still in the fight of its life to get its population fully vaccinated, the other is the policy of a sporting event. Same mistake he made when trying to come to Australia.

IFM boss says US behind the times on privatisationChief executive David Neal says it takes a long time to change social attitudes towards privatisation in the US. Privatising a public monopoly has rarely delivered value in the long term. Privatisation only works when there are several providers and there is competitive tension for the same service. Privatisation has meant shovelling public money to mates of the govt to provide poor service delivery at a higher price while running down infrastructure and pocketing every dollar they can. Privatization is the beast that enhances wealth for minorities and stalls social progress for the majority. It is the snake oil sold by those who benchmark progress against profits with little regards for the negative effect on those most in need. Too much?
