Not sure how all of us outside of the US got conned into thinking they were 'world leaders'?
They're 'world class' con artists & Trump is simply the embodiment of that ... in our faces.
What civilised country on the planet does not take care of those citizens of it, who are sick?

96% of the highest-paid workers in the US have paid sick days.
Just 38% of the lowest-paid workers get them — including the thousands of retail workers working this holiday weekend.
Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

Think we've all had enough of being frogs in hot water ... just getting hotter & hotter by the day.
I'd rather the gas industry be shut down but since that's unlikely, even in the face of growing evidence of its impact on climate change, either we stop using it, or demand it at a low price.

Enough said. And enough of the *thieving, basically, the 'rip off' at best.
Putting Australia Last. 20 years worth of gas exported in past 5 years, while Australians threatened with shortages.
New Australia Institute analysis shows that over the past five years the Australian government has allowed the export of enough gas to supply Australia for more than 20 years.

CONGRATS to Australian fossil fuel company Santos, which has been granted 614,133 carbon offsets for its new CCS facility.
Assuming a price of $37, that's $22m AUD in profits if they sell the CCS offsets. Or 600k tonnes of fake "neutralisation" if they claim it for themselves.

Yes ... let's choose better tech. And, then ☝️ we can stop spending so much time focussing on how to 'tax' the fossil fool companies, so much money cleaning up after them and just ... shut the f^ckers down.
Imagine showing a petrol engine to someone who had only known electric vehicles, and trying to convince them to switch to petrol. No-one would choose the dirty, noisy, less efficient, more expensive vehicle. This isn't 1910, hostage to gender insecurity. We can just choose the better tech.
