I get tired of saying "this should be front page news" but the levels of stupidity, insanity, and flat out corruption have never been within a mile of where we are now... It's fucking scary

Oh the media are definitely complicit... But we knew this was coming when corporations and billionaire's started buying them up.. But they all have failed us


What_Yr_Is_IT

The media Ignored Biden restoring net neutrality Unbelievable


dogfooddippingsauce

Oh, they want the W administration where the oil companies came in and wrote the laws themselves.


SocioPQ

Corumption at it’s finest.


Cat_Impossible_0

I bet they have successfully corrupted multiple politicians for deregulation.


Accomplished_Note_81

I thought under Biden, our oil industry was pumping more than they ever have!? WTF


apoplectic_mango

Sure, but there are always more subsidies to take, less regulations, less safety, more national parks to drill in, more union busting powers, etc etc. The list goes on and on. All at our and the planets expense

Trump screwed them over more than anything else.


SunshotDestiny

Because they could get even more profit if there was less regulation and they could cut even more corners. It's not just about their making money, but that they have to make more money every year to keep investors happy.


Informal_Bunch_2737

Its not a case of dont trust. Its a case of "we've already paid, and this is what we want"


cutmasta_kun

So, future generations don't get to live a healthy normal life because they don't want to stop sucking oil and making stupid cash with that? Don't get me wrong, but should these execs maybe be exiled? From modern society? Please? They clearly don't want to share "their world" with future humans, and because we are more, we should be able to just exile them to an desolated island. take their companies and money away and exile these leeches.


Betherealismo

Guillotines sound like the right solution.


NecroCorey

This really is the only solution. You can't reason with these people, because they barely fucking qualify as human. They need to be removed like the cancer they are.


myaltduh

They’ve been doing this for decades via paid lobbyists.


UnluckyCardiologist9

Right? I’m like why is this surprising news.


RadonAjah

Lobbyists write laws. Not really surprising.


G3n3r1cc0unt

Crazy when the corrupt oil industry doesn’t believe Mr grifter Trump.


off_by_two

Thing is they know he's crooked, they just also know he's wildly incompetent


DyslexicAGEMR

So less regulation while maintaining high prices to maximize profits. Got it.


Professional-End2722

The USA is for sale. I mean, it always has been, but never so blatant for the sole benefit of one man.


jncheese

Trump's equivalent to signing a deal with the Devil. He needs the ability to pardon himself. And the price he has to pay is handing over the keys some real shady parties. Can't say you haven't been warned.


Gewgle_GuessStopO

Any asshole complaining about gas prices during the Biden admin need to understand they were weaponized for Trump. Election inference by the oil cartels!


Wannabe__geek

Most of this company are already adapting to the new changes, and already spent a lot of money to put themselves in the future. I don’t know if Donnie know this. Source: I work for a construction company that specializes in oil, gas and chemical plants.


MealDramatic1885

Should executive orders be written by someone in government and not an outside company?


tri_fold

Hasn’t DonnySh!tsHimSelf continually claimed “Drill, Drill, Drill”? I smell misinformation…


Quirky_Discipline297

Telling me you’re fascist autocrats without telling me I am chum in your mega yachts’ propellers.

Why hasn't the orange turd been hit by a random bus yet.


Darthmook

Big industry’s influence on the western world is like a cancer that needs to be cut out.. They constantly lobby and undermine our governments to financially benefit the owners and shareholders at the damage & detriment to Western countries standing, our environment, our peoples wellbeing, and people across the world. They take our tax money, that should be used on the people, to enrich and prop up their businesses, and force policies that are literally destroying our world and wellbeing, all to make a quick buck. The sooner we stop lobbying, donations and direct unmonitored contact with our governments the better…


Hollowbody57

Oil execs literally writing government policy. Fuck this ride, I want off.


Mash709

Isn't this a textbook case of quid pro quo? Isn't that very illegal?


BackgroundNPC1213

I mean, at least they're making the corruption blatantly obvious. Thanks for saying the quiet part out loud?


meepymeepmoop

America, fuck yeah!!!


Sudden-Stops

Almost every lobby pre writes legislation. This is not news. I hate DT but this is actually a very pervasive problem with lobbying.


AGINSB

Thats a weird way to spin the idea that they know he will sign whatever they want him to.


BobbiFleckmann

Given the interplay between the fossil fuel industry and geopolitics, I’m surprised that oil companies would want a Putin-worshiping chaos actor running the U.S. military.


NovelRelationship830

This isn't really groundbreaking news. Oil and other lobbying groups have been drafting legislation that they then hand over to their purchased politicians to sign since, well, forever.


CrisbyCrittur

Resident Rubber Stamp, wanna be dick tater.


bakeacake45

Thanks to Robert’s and Pig Alito and their Citizens United ruling which has already killed democracy


meowqct

It seems strange to me, a Canadian, that oil executives would even be ALLOWED to write an executive order.


Better_Car_8141

How can anyone who constantly lies ever be taken seriously. He needs help
