I’m so used to everything we do being another stride into a dystopian hellscape that it took me a moment to realise that this wasn’t (in any immediately obvious way) the government helping the fuel industry. This treaty is absolute nonsense, and should never have been ratified in the first place, so this is actually good news, unless they’ve somehow thought of something worse to replace it with
Same, I spent a good ten minutes trying to figure out what malevolent ulterior motive they could have for doing this.
Maybe someone has realised that the end of the world would be bad for corporate profits?
Yeah but that’s long-term profits and they don’t really care about long-term profits. Their mindset is as long as they can make record profits this year, it doesn’t really matter if everyone dies next year, that’s next year’s problem. Everyone is expendable including their future selves.
It requires a distinct lack of imagination to be a capitalist.
Don’t tell me. Said treaty was promulgated by US energy firms, right?
Good, it was a stupid idea in the first place, tbh.
Good news. The way this treaty was being (ab)used was ludicrous
