The EPA has removed the value of a human's life from its cost-benefit calculations. Not metaphorically - literally. Andy wrote about this disregard for the value of human life in Fortune today: fortune.com/2026/04/01/epa-value-st…
fortune.com
The EPA just valued a human life at $0. That's not just a moral crisis — it's a market crisis | Fortune
When the government quietly removes human life from its cost-benefit ledger, it isn't environmental policy. It's a fundamental repricing of the economy.

Austin, Texas – The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas has struck down Texas’ Senate Bill 13, known as the “business blacklist law.” SB 13 undermined the freedom to invest, penalizing private companies and state entities, including pension funds, that made sustainable investments and were perceived as “boycotting” fossil fuel companies.
