@breadandcircuses even more outrageous is that they got and still get as much or even more in fossil fuel subsidies. That's public funds for the super rich (they really don't need it with so much profit).
@breadandcircuses To STOP Climate Change(to the degree we NEED TO) Hu,ans Need to Quit Refining oil, Quit Drilling for oil. QUIT BUYING OIL! The Cost of Gasoline SHOULD BE ridiculous! ALL Power generated from petroleum Should be equal to the cost it's use does to society. Stupid Old Men will DIE without Feeling the growing repercussions of Climate Change and THEY won't change unless WE cause OUR Representatives(Oh Yeah--fuck it-we're screwed)
@breadandcircuses Worth bearing in mind those figures are in 2020 prices. They really should have put that somewhere near the top of the news article. Sure it's helpful to understand the scale of the profits in today's money, but it's also important to be upfront about such a methodology.
Why don't we just take that fitty-two tril back from them?
It's obviously traceable if someone was able to calculate it. We can leave it if any managed to land in hands that actually need it to survive. Somebody's grandkid trying to live on minimum wage or something. I'm sure most of it is in the offshore accounts of the oligarchs. Fuck 'em. Main street needs it. Take it back..
