    It really bothers me, considering fossil fuels are a finite resource. It doesn’t take a scientist to know that electric vehicles/solar are a smarter long term decisions for availability and environmental reasons.

      Yes, but solar power has the potential to free us. The resource extraction for oil and gas is beside the point. The slavery they impose on everyone around them is the real product they sell.

      Every oil executive is a 1000 times worse than any Epstein co-conspirator, I can assure you.

    “Too big to fail” breaks our current system where consequences are necessary to check certain behaviour. Take bad risks for profit that dont turn out? Go out of business, and more importantly, hopefully teach a lesson to every customer, investor and employee

    Grandpa went from 40 years of GM cars to a toyota when the 00s bailout happened, and they were right. These ancient monolithic companies are horribly run, there’s very little if any ownership from the bottom up, and the more we bail them out, the worse their purely short term profit motivated decisions become

    decisions that inevitably hurt those of us doing all the actual work, and never the rich who are running this place into the ground to line their pockets giving quarterly-profits-line-go-up presentations
