The shittiest part about it, is they don’t even care. If you’ve ever seen interviews with these people, it’s like interviewing a Bond villain… The only thing that matters to them is their own greed.
Anybody that even gets involved with the industry is just as bad. It’s kind of funny, as an engineer, we have an ethical creed that we’re supposed to follow… How any sort of petroleum engineer is able to ethically work in the petroleum industry is beyond me.
Everyone knows refineries produce gas for their cars. Less people know refineries produce all the plastics too. Even fewer people realize an alarming amount of the industrial fertilizers we use to keep billions of people from starving to death comes directly from oil.
We. Are. Stuck.
Until we figure out how to repair all the scorched dirt we killed through overfarming that can no longer grow plants without heaps of fertilizer. Until we find some other process to produce massive amounts of plant food. Until we find some other way to fill billions of mouths we really CANT stop drilling or people die.
I’m all for eat the rich but they’re more like an delicacy, not a staple diet for half the world. We need solutions along with all the ‘tear it down.’ You know who wouldn’t starve if we stopped drilling immediately? The rich
The sad thing is that the Oil Industry is well positioned to solve this problem. They have a workforce that’s skilled at building offshore structures that could building off shore wind farms. They have people skilled at drilling who could be developing geothermal energy. They have chemical engineers, pipelines, and tankers which could be used to create and distribute hydrogen based fuels.
And they most certainly have the financial resources needed to make that transition.
They all like to market themselves as being in the “energy industry” instead of the oil industry. They could actually do that. Become green energy companies.
Only problem is that this would cost them their quarterly profits. Long term they’d be able to dominate the green energy market instead of being replaced by it.
But they simply aren’t thinking long term at all. It’s really insane when you think about it.
Yeah but what flavor ice cream? I hate how these guides leave out the important details
The obvious choice would be mint. Choco chip, since it emulates even more of that coldness with the flavour. But if you don’t like it, lemon should be fine too.
Hershey’s Ice Cream does this oversized mint choco chip ice cream sandwich that you just made me think of.
Fuck you, that’s over an hour drive and they’ll be closed before I’m off work, but thank you, I know what I’m doing tomorrow because of you.
Well, did they taste good? (Don’t live in America, idk how they taste)
They were amazing. Hershey’s(not the chocolate company, just the same name) makes some really quality ice cream.
They’re also a pain in the ass to find outside the Northeastern US, in my experience. Where I was living at, you could find traditional Hershey’s Ice Cream Parlors everywhere. After getting lower than Virginia, I could count how often I saw anyone advertising them on one hand.
What flavor goes with a popular uprising to usurp the means of production from the petroleum industry and transition to green, sustainable energy? I dunno. Moose tracks, maybe?
What about Marxism Mint?
Whatever mint is native to your region?
The obvious choice would be mint. Choco chip, since it emulates even more of that coldness with the flavour. But if you don’t like it, lemon should be fine too.
Don’t forget the animal agriculture industry! Responsible for memorable moments like burning the Amazon rainforest and deforestation in South East Asia!
Beat the heat in 4 simple steps!
Global Warming hates these four simple steps, number three will surprise you!
How are y’all planning on dismantling a centralized authoritarian dictarship without establishing a dictatorship of our own? Asking about your “also fuck tankies” header text.
If I get stuck in number three should I still ditch my skinny jeans?
