Wait, how did you just come up with one of the slogans that all Democratic candidates in 2026 should be running on?

And governments allow it without a second thought.

…for ecocide and crimes against humanity.

Hey, remind me why these oil companies get government subsidies again? Every dollar of revenue should pay back subsidies.

I 100% agree!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

EUW NOT ME🤢BUT COULD DO SOME GOOD🤔 STARVING ANIMALS PERHAPS? WILD CATS? 💡REMAINS MGHT MAKE GOOD FERTILIZER? NB: “Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will you realise you cannot eat money.” A GOOD FIRST PEOPLES' MORAL, I THINK #NOWASTE😂

One good thing will come of this bullshit Iran war — much of the world will truly commit to renewable energy infrastructure and cutting ties to Middle East oil. The US will be last to the party thanks to the fossil fuel lobby that owns our government, but eventually the tide will turn here as well.

Remember when every presidential debate demanded the democrat to defend fracking due to the importance of considering jobs in PA, while now the republican party is just full steam ahead with AI, deregulation of it, and data centers that ruin the quality of life? Wild times.

I truly don't get how they operate. Where I'm at, almost everyone avoids the Shell stations like the plague. They're the "pay 50 cents more per gallon" store.

Read that as tied. I'll allow it.

Agreed. Try them for ecocide and global genocide. Then use their ill-gotten wealth to fund climate restoration and adaptation.

💯 It’s astonishing how long the rest of us have let it go on like this.

I hate to say this but that happens because we have an addiction problem. Have you watched Landman? Billy Bob often steps out of his role while remaining in character and breaks the football in subtle ways to let the viewers know exactly why we have and will always have an ‘oil’ problem.

Ответ для James R (Randy) Fromm

We watched In the Heart of the Sea the other night and the oil ‘problem’ appeared there as well: a hint at the shift from (the addiction to) whale oil to petroleum, after some well digger somewhere (Pennsylvania?) found oil underground.

*football was supposed to be ‘fourth wall’!!! I *HATE* anticipatory editing that has no knowledge of theatrical terms.

Ответ для James R (Randy) Fromm

I guessed that’s what you meant! Have not seen Landman.

It is actually quite good. Shame it’s on Paramount+ but Laurie really wanted to see it after we watched a teaser of the first two or three episodes. Luckily we were able to purchase just the show through Prime rather subscribe to Paramount+. I know, Prime or Paramount+. Flip a coin, eh?

They’re all equally evil.

Should be* Won’t be. We’re too docile.

Can we add insurance execs? Their business model requirements human suffering

Ответ для Rue

Fun fact: The first life insurance policy in the English speaking world that we still have the details for was a 12 month policy from 1583. When the person died 345 days later the insurance company denied the claim because 12 months is not the same as a year. 12 months = 12 x 28 days = 336 days.

Ответ для John T

The claimant took the insurance company to court, and eventually won their money in 1587.

Ответ для John T

some things never change!

Can you say "Price Gouging"?

War for oil ! War profiteering is immoral!

💯 %!!!

Crimes Against Humanity

"Even as traders cash in" WTF is the headline talking about.  Shell is a large corporate trader too.

Exxon Knew about Climate Change Almost 40 Years AgoA new investigation shows the oil company understood the science before it became a public issue and spent millions to promote misinformationwww.scientificamerican.com

100% this stuff has all been known about for decades, and the efforts to obfuscate it have gone on for just as long

Mining too

They don’t have to pay taxes and they’re making huge profits. Trump did that. 

I think their investors should be next🤷🏻‍♀️

For making a profit in a Capitalist system? Stay in school sweetheart.

Now we’re talking
