Chevron just posted $12 billion in profit. Up 400% in a year. Their biggest quarter ever. Exxon made $14.5 billion. You paid for all of it at the pump.
Say what you want about Trump. He’s making something great again. And who’s more deserving than Big Oil.
In 2024 he asked them for a billion dollars and promised their whole wish list in return. This morning they collected.
Congress is not serious.
We are voting on a stock trading ban for members of Congress…
BUT Republicans added voter-ID in the legislation.
Not to get Dems to vote for voter-ID,
but to get them to vote against the stock trading ban, so they can use it in the Nov. election.
I don’t care how “efficient” the private sector is.
Some services should never be run as businesses.
Health care. Water. Electricity. Gas. Prisons.
If a company makes more money when people get sicker, stay locked up longer, or have no choice but to pay, that’s a system built on conflicting interests.
Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.
Real scientists begin with a question.
Quacks begin with a conclusion.
One follows the evidence wherever it leads. The other searches for evidence to justify what they already wanted to believe.
the part they never teach you:
inflation is permanent.
$6 coffee doesn’t go back to $3.
your only defense is earning more.
but the moment workers ask for that they call it a threat to the economy.
whose economy.
