A close friend of mine used to work for the EPA until last year. He described it as an organization that formalizes bribes for exceptions, a simple cost of doing business.
But of course, billionaires are so greedy that that wasn’t good enough and they don’t want to pay the bribes anymore.

The discovery turns a century-old view of dopamine on its head and could transform how we treat everything from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to Parkinson’s disease.
