Quote by Jared Diamond

Federal elections happen every two years in this country. Presidential elections every four years. And four years just isn't long enough to dismantle all the environmental laws we've got in this country.

Federal elections happen every two years in this country. Pr

Summary

This quote suggests that despite the frequency of federal elections every two years and presidential elections every four, the allocated time frame is not enough to completely repeal the existing environmental laws in the country. It implies that environmental regulations have been implemented over time, and the limited term of four years for a presidency is insufficient to dismantle all the established laws aimed at protecting the environment. The quote highlights the need for sustained efforts to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of environmental protection measures.

I have had a visit from mine, and you may be sure it is no pleasant thing in the end; I was at last about to jump down from the drawers.
