"I believe the underlying water table, soil quality and the climate are all just fine.
We hired a know-nothing who thinks he knows everything, looks out for himself first, and has bankrupted most everything he managed.
Now, he can salt the Earth, send some water away to the Eastern corner because there is a fire in the Western corner, beat up the nice neighbors thinking that maybe now people will consider him to be a real man and so on. The question is, can he cause lasting damage or can we bounce back? At some point, being mortal, he will be gone. Call me an optimistic fool, but I think America has bounced back from worse, although I don't know if this will be worse than the worst so far."
To take Jim's metaphor further, we cannot be sure that the underlying water table, soil quality and the climate are all just fine. The Know Nothing has made it so toxic metals can easily be dumped into the soil, the climate can change and we don't know it and that the water tables can be poisoned by fracking liquids.
