A lot of people who push the idea of regulations and certifications as solutions should read this and wake the fuck up.

If they enforced the regulations against flaring they would have "capped" oil and gas production.

So, they ignored the regulations.

That is the same everywhere.

The Indian state of Rajasthan produces more solar than any other. It has rejected a 3.2 GW coal power plant, because the bids to build it were more expensive than bundling renewables with batteries.

Ever wonder why Trump and Farage are buddies?

Brexit was absolutely in Putins interest as it significantly weakened European solidarity.

Farage sold it to the gullible, just as Trump sold his BS to the maga gullible.

They continue to peddle their poison...

Warren Buffet sold all his #Nvidia shares, and is not invested in #openAi.
If that doesn't convince you, the graph below fromm Bloomberg should.

OpenAi is an Enron-like Ponzi scheme.

Never forget who pushed this hardest: Farage & his big business backers.

And Johnson.

They don't have the welfare of the UK at heart: they only represent the mink & manure, the oilygarchs & the already entitled.

Ominous, but wholly foreseeable. ICE is the regime’s Gestapo.
Due to outdated privacy laws, the Trump administration can easily turn powerful surveillance tools against anyone and everyone, with scant safeguards. Now, ICE says that it plans to make this risk a reality for the swath of Americans who oppose the president’s agenda. bit.ly/3Kq348R

The reason the top 10% of income earners pay more than half of all tax revenue is NOT because they are taxed more than ever.

Their tax rate has been cut FIVE times in the last 25 years.

They are paying more because their INCOME has increased astronomically, where the income of the bottom half has

If any poms think of supporting Farage, remember that he was instrumental in this fuckup. Beside which he is a blustering bully and a creep.
"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%"

Conservatives today often denigrate a concern with economic inequality as a deviant left-wing preoccupation.

In fact, from antiquity to the present, canonical thinkers of diverse political orientations have diagnosed economic inequality as a great evil.
