If you want a steady stream of information about the supposed value that ExxonMobil is bringing to the world, you may want to sign up for this.

These people are playing for keeps, btw.  They’re destroying a little piece more of this planet every day, and they understand that completely.

But there is money at stake.  Lots of it.

ExxonMobil Has a PR Campaign that Will Appeal to Some People

To the reader who sent me this meme:

I wouldn’t say that Trump’s illegal invasion of Iran was done for “no … reason.”

What he did created world chaos and caused most Americans in particular to suffer.  The more desperate we become, the more likely we’ll be to accept his repeated claims that “Only I can fix it.”

Chaos also helps to justify a claim of a “national emergency” that Trump could use to cancel the 2026 midterms.  If November happens as everyone predicts, this will the end of his political and legal future.

Destroying renewable energy to further enrich his Big Oil megadonors makes Trump that much more powerful.

We’re in a pathetic position.

I’m not one to say, “I told you so,” but since my adolescence, I predicted that big money in government would soon ruin this country.
