Congratulations to Exxon Mobile for earning $56 billion net profit in 2022. Against all odds, they found a way to make record profits

$6.3 million per hour
$1,750 per second

But don’t worry. That didn’t stop Exxon Mobil from getting subsidies from our government. Since FY2000

Texas gave them $1.4 Billion
Louisiana: $500 Million
The federal government: $5.4 Billion in bailout money

Does anyone want to know why we are speedrunning to climate crisis?

@flexghost That's the problem with being not woke. (i.e. too stupid to connect the dots, even if those dots are all up in your junk screaming at you that there's a problem)

@flexghost Yes exactly. Mainstream media is just feeding the monster.

I see 0 solutions that head off a worst case climate scenario short of every major industry suddenly catching on fire and burning to the ground.

@flexghost We turned out to be no better than any other invasive species that kills its host, then dies along with it.

Oh well, at least we won't have to worry about Covid any longer. 😉
