Exxon boss Darren Woods:

significant changes have to be made to those commercial frameworks, the legal system, there has to be durable investment protections, and there has to be a change to the hydrocarbon laws in the country

Future historians trying to figure out why america hated ICE so much to the point of being hellbent on melting the polar ice caps

Not sure if it fits in the mega, but:

I think climate change is often overlooked in the geopolitical analysis I keep seeing here.

Isn’t food production/industrial agriculture supposed to take a huge blow in the coming decades? And isn’t industrial agriculture and its massive output one of the conditions for how modern industrial states turned out?

I don’t think you can make a correct prediction or analysis without considering that many modern states could potentially be facing a severe blow to their existence in the coming decades. Will a state be able to survive without devoting a big part of their work force towards agricultural labor? Will the disposition of arable land delineate the next global war, and will the coming conflicts mostly consist of physically capturing land and work force?

I’m curious to read what the smart people here think of this, because all my baby brain has is doom and anxiety

That’s the point of a vanguard party

I’m convinced that reality is a farce

He wants a cut of Venezuela too

Yeah, it’s always about internal change and stopping the outside world from changing

The good guys® holding a nation at gunpoint until they’re handed money

Real time price and spending behaviour monitoring?

What’s that thing about capitalism laying the foundation for planned economies? I think it was Lenin

Anyone else also got the impression that major events now mostly only happen from the evening of Friday to saturday? Possibly to avoid major fluctuations in stock or even bank runs.

It’s the circadian rhythm of Capital

Hopefully leftists can look past the clowns and know that the powers behind all of this are the executive boards of Chevron and other fossil capital industries, right?
