So, this dick is going to spend more on lawyers than a fee to, at minimum, disrupt vital, designated habitat for an endangered species? And doubles down that with some stupid shit questioning *endangered status*, as if EPA has been able to dispense that designation like opioids ๐Ÿ˜Š

It's much worse. They are fighting to strip protections nationwide from any species that only exists in single states.

All due to the $120,000 fee to build in this one habitat.

The worst part is that he could just eat some fees and do some logistical work to disturb the birds as little as possible and that would be fine, but it would be inconvenient and disrupt his internal narrative that he and his ilk own the world so the endangered species has to go.
