Markey: #BigOil’s annual 2022 profits are expected to reach $190 billion shattering their previous record in 2011 by nearly 50%.. Their profits this year are 50% higher than their highest year ever recorded… average wages for workers have only increased 17% over 45 years

@GottaLaff why don’t we nationalize the oil companies?
@Seedling @GottaLaff cause if we did the CIA and the Mi6 would overthrow a democratically elected government and install an absolute monarch in its place. They have done it before https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat

@Seedling Because then the GOP would call us commie pinko socialists.

Also, because how do we do that with Republicans opposing?

@GottaLaff I know. Just so frustrating. I’ve come to believe that the corporation is a fatally flawed construct. Co-ops are the answer.
