Leading the economy was just a way to amass wealth and influence. But now, they'd think it's time to solidify their status as permanently on top of the world. Time to torpedo the economy while they occupy the top rungs of society, to attain true power and force everyone else into slavery.

Like how do these dudes still think Trump listens to even guys like Bezos or Musk when he doesn't support space shit, immigration, free trade, cutting government, not fucking with the economy, etc.?

I mean, there is a reason why they kicked out Musk when he started to get uppity about the tariffs.

Also this is literally Nepenthe's position. (Well, except the "occupy the top rungs of society" part. But globally it's sorta true.)
The oil industry is telling Trump that is going to take a lot more to them to invest on Venezuela while he keeps sperging about Greenland.

For all the memes about how the US government does whatever they want the oil industry has a long history of being told by the US government to go into somewhere just to, after the administration changes, get their assets seized and the US government telling them they'll be prosecuted if they don't pull out of countries. Any of them who believe Trump will be able to end, or hell, just fix PDVSA (and past his term in office) deserve to lose their money.

Why people can stand this retard? It's the same thing they often do because it's the laziest ad hoc defense anyone can make. Claim there's some context you're missing. By the time you find out the context and see it makes Hasan look even stupider now they can attack you for not moving on and being a stalker and ICE is literally murdering people in the streets maybe focus on that and so on.
Like there's no context in which Hasan looks good for saying that Andrew Ryan is praising socialism at the start of BioShock or that China is the ideal system to replicate. He can't defend either of these takes or any of the others he makes. But hypothetically, in theory, there's a defense that could be made and so the burden is on you to assume that's the one he'd make. Even though if you then attack that theory he can say "I never said that."
It's the tactics of Creationists because it's the same situation: there's no positive defense that can be made because it's a matter of faith.
The fact that the Oil industry is wary in public contrasts heavily with others industries when Trump tries to force them to do something.
I think it's easy to just treat Trump the way he treats everything. Promise something, praise Trump, and then just not do anything to follow up. In the 1% chance he comes back around to it before his term is up after being randomly reminded while watching Fox you can just blame some libs in New York or make up some other "deal" for him to win.

Problem is you have a lot of assholes determined to remind him of stuff or old grudges. The U.S. (or any democracy) shouldn’t be governed like a decadent royal court.

It's also pretty disturbing that the oil companies are considering US government policy to be as bad as the Venezuelan government.
Because Trump is just Chavez/Maduro but for US citizens and with some limitations to not totally fuck uo the institutional system.
Trump is basically a tropico save

Minthara is probably is the most stupid Canuck on ERA:

Minthara wrote:This isn't how the American war machine works and you know that. Americans want revenge almost every time, and attacking Mexico and/or Canada is going to lead to bloodshed on US soil guaranteed, and US cities burning and American civilians dying.
The second that happens Americans (in general) fall in line, as every piece of media that depicts an attack in US soil and generations have American exceptionalism has told the American people that's what you do.
You know that there was an actual previous USAvSMexico war? And a past border incursion to catch criminals?
Don’t you?
If I was in charge I’d probably do something about these ICE people, because, you know, shooting women in the face, chasing delivery drivers into basements and randomly firing weapons in the streets isn’t great pr. It’s kind of a bad look. People don’t like it.
I’d probably start with a rebrand. Instead of ICE, I’d call them NICE. Instead of murdering women in broad daylight. NICE agents would help them with their groceries. We all need delivery drivers. They’re essential workers. We shouldn’t have fascist goons larping as federal agents chasing these drivers into stranger’s basements. It’s not good. They don’t like it. It fucks up their deliveries and people don’t get their stuff. Things would be much better for everyone if NICE gave drivers free Reiki sessions instead of trying to deport them. Replacing ICE’s toy store uniforms with some robes would go a long way to calming things down too. The money that would be saved if we had NICE agents helping people instead of murdering, terrorising and deporting them could go to other nice things like affordable housing or healthcare or free pizza Fridays. Wouldn’t that be better.

How about we also hire guys with Flame Throwers and call them FIRE AGENTS
There was a story during Katrina that they pulled out their old INS jackets because people thought they were dudes with ice.
Quote:Anyway, given the proximity with Mexico, he could just have phoned Sheinbaum and asked her to work together. That would have been a possibility but I guess attacking a bordering country is a better solution for him.
Not saying that shouldn’t be the ideal, but is naive if you think this a new idea or there isn’t interests from both sides to get in each other way. And I have some bad news about Sheinbaum and her party relationship with organized crime.
One of the few things Trump does well is throwing a wrench to the current Mexican government in their narrative about crime, probably because he doesn’t give a fuck about diplomacy and is not like the USA is interested in the how and why Mexican politics. Actually trying to attack or capture Narcos would be a stupid idea but is not like USA hasn’t pressed the Mexican government before about this stuff.

Cartels may react, but it is a big if given that is not like they can bully the U.S. like they can with the state governments here.
No way the Mexican Army going to move a finger or retaliate against the U.S.
