West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is an honorable man.
Sure, he's stood in the way of almost every single thing Democrats have tried to do since President Joe Biden was elected, but that was because he was standing by his principles. One of which appears to be the belief that when Democrats are elected and have a majority, they should just sit very still and stay very quiet until it's all over and Republicans have a majority again. Some people might think that makes very little sense, especially those of us who think that left-leaning policies are both good and not quite as repulsive to people as others might think. But those are his principles and he sticks by them. He sees himself as The Chosen One, sent by unseen forces to thwart the excesses of his own party.
Excesses like "addressing climate change," a popular issue with kooky idealists who don't want to have to live underwater like The Snorks.
This week on CNN, Manchin shared his concerns about the "very, very disturb[ing]" climate provisions in the party's $3.5 trillion infrastructure reconciliation bill:
"I know they have the climate portion in here, and I'm concerned about that," Manchin said moments after Biden met with Senate Democrats in the Capitol on Wednesday.
"Because if they're eliminating fossils, and I'm finding out there's a lot of language in places they're eliminating fossils, which is very, very disturbing, because if you're sticking your head in the sand, and saying that fossil (fuel) has to be eliminated in America, and they want to get rid of it, and thinking that's going to clean up the global climate, it won't clean it up all. If anything, it would be worse."

Remember the EpiPen fiasco? An essential allergy remedy, EpiPen went from $56 per dose to $600 per dose when Mylan acquired the patent in 2007. Schools (and parents) were required to have doses on hand in case any children had an allergic reaction, and some almost went bankrupt trying to buy the life-saving drug. Bresch's salary went from $2.5M to $18.9M during that time(!)

Needless to say Big Pharma is no friend to the Democratic Party, as I'm sure Joe Manchin is aware.
