Deplorables killed Net-Zero and ESG. I Know! Let's Steal the National Parks!

[Danielle is gung-ho about net zero. That worries me. Is she just going along with the crowd to get to a higher goal or does she actually believe that crap?]

She knew I had the long form and had it with her for us to complete and I told her when and where I filled out, even approximate time of day, and she asked for confirmation code so went to work trying to find.
