Do we understand why they would do that?
I’m against both arbitrary windfall taxation and market-distorting subsidies. Obviously, if oil companys can not make economic assumptions over the cycle with any certainty, in an a business already characterised by technical and operational risks, the casualty is investment.
So let me get this straight, we're going to import gas, export jobs and export emissions.
We're going to pay for someone else to drill dirtier gas, transport it here, lose our tax revenue, sack our own workers, then pretend we're being 'green'.
Righto.

Iran is running short of cards to play.
For the sake of basic humanity, regional and international security, and to bring some hope to their own people that this brutal, tyrannical, theocratic regime may be in it’s final throes, that can only be a good thing.
Whilst regime torture and killing never stops, I hope they don’t turn the guns on their own people en masse, again.
🇮🇷 Iran is getting squeezed from 3 directions
The Strait of Hormuz is reopening, Iran’s oil exports are reportedly nearing zero, and its own political leadership is now openly arguing over whether the war can continue.
Nearly 200 vessels passed through Hormuz last week, a roughly 400% increase in two weeks, while U.S. pressure and the UAE’s suspension of trade are tightening the economic noose.
President Masoud Pezeshkian says the war must eventually end. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf is warning that military power means little if Iran’s economy collapses.
Tehran may still have missiles, but its leverage is getting harder to convert into an exit.

When the entire elite is and always has been black, ie the «critical race » is black, what is the logic of protesting a concept under a theorem that depends on white guilt?
Barbados, a black country, with an enterally black elite, enterally black police force, only black politicians, only ever had black prime ministers.
Had a black lives matter movement blaming their failures on racism.
Exactly that.
They will do their damnedest, anyway.
Never let them succeed, though. Pick your battles, for sure, but one has to makes stand when it comes to the sort of malevolence that can destroy lives and reputations.
It takes tenacity, but after a few years, the evidence can speak for itself.
That evidence is much harder than ever to obtain, because GDPR is in practical effect an abuser’s charter, that can help abusers to keep their mendacity private.
🇺🇲 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sur Fox News :
« En 1948, il y avait environ 1 million de Juifs dans les pays arabes du Moyen-Orient. Aujourd’hui, il n’en reste qu’environ 15 000.
Les chrétiens représentaient 20 % de la population du Moyen-Orient. Aujourd’hui, ils ne représentent plus que 5 %.
En Israël, en revanche, il y avait environ 150 000 Palestiniens en 1948. Aujourd’hui, ils sont près de 2 millions, soit environ 20 % de la population.
Si Israël voulait commettre un génocide contre les Palestiniens, il pourrait le faire en une minute. Il fait l’inverse : la population palestinienne autour d’Israël augmente considérablement.
Il n’y a plus de Juifs en Jordanie.
Il n’y a plus de Juifs à Gaza.
Et le nombre de chrétiens à Gaza a chuté d’environ 80 % en dix ans.
Si vous voulez voir où se déroule un véritable génocide, ce n’est pas en Israël.
Ça se passe dans toutes les nations qui l’entourent. »
Une question simple : pourquoi ce sujet est-il si rarement évoqué ?

The year is 2030, Zack Polanski is PM and removed tasers and pepper spray from police officers.
A knifeman is running rampant but officers have turned up to stop him with “hope and love.”
@AntonioTweets2 Sanchez’ government will fall, over his irresponsible approach to immigration that continues to create pull factors.
it is just a question of when and how much harm is done in the intervening time.
How far the Economist has fallen, in the 12 years since I cancelled my subscription, is remarkable.
It is entirely reasonable for a public servant in a leadership position to appear before a Senate committee.
It is no longer a secret (for many files have been released in the public domain, and there are multiple testimonies of those who worked with him) that Fauci lied about many aspects of Covid, including the origin of the virus. He covered up the known risks associated with the vaccines, whilst making very different comments in private, via slack.
Furthermore, he acted to cover up the origin and the circumstances of the viral leak from the Wuhan lab. He lied about his involvement in having sponsored gain of function research in China, following President Obama’s refusal to allow it in the USA.
As for the Senate hearing, he pleaded the 5th Amendment for every single question asked, despite having the benefit of a full Presidential pardon for any criminal matters known or unknown - so he faced no legal risk whatsoever. He could have spoken candidly, and assisted the committee with their inquiry.
That unprecedented, usual pardon for all future allegations (even the yet publicly unknown) does of course call into question just how complicit Biden, or the Democrat staffers/puppeteers who ran his White House, had been during the great COVID deception.
Anthony Fauci made mistakes. But his diary reveals a conscientious public servant trying to save as many lives as he could during the pandemic. His recent summons before a Senate committee was surely intended to humiliate him. It should embarrass America https://t.co/cqLVyBBXQx
Only in Britain could you fake your credentials, lecture students on white privilege to mask your own inadequacies, and still get a candlelit vigil from the cultural class.
How indeed? How could they not respect the life of a genuine teenage refugee stabbed to death in broad daylight on a train in their country, and support her poor parents?
I will never forget the day that I watched Democrats refuse to stand for Iryna Zarutska’s mother at the State of the Union.
It was so shockingly evil, that even while I watched it, I could barely believe it.
Honestly, I still can’t.
It was so insanely radicalizing.
HOLY CRAP 🚨: Elon Musk backs billionaire Warren Buffett’s famous plan to eliminate the deficit in 5 minutes: “You just pass a law that says, ‘Anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for reelection.’”
Elon Musk wrote on 𝕏: “💯 This is the way[!]”
If the politicians in D.C. actually cared about the American people, they would pass this law tomorrow.
Jolyon Maugham’s response to Jason Arday’s death has been disgraceful. He smeared journalists asking legitimate questions of Arday, and is now blaming them for Arday’s death. He is a nasty, pompous fool, says Luke Gittos
