It's estimated that US oil companies could gain a windfall of $60B this year if crude prices maintain the levels they have hit since the start of Trump's war on Iran.
Remember that Big Oil spent spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024.
That investment is paying off quite well for them.
Democratic consultants: To replicate Mamdani’s success with the young people we must appeal to their short attention spans with memes and TikTok
Mamdani (actual quote): In the fifth century in what we now know as Ireland, a British warlord named Coroticus had laid waste to the countryside

"The whole planet poorer"...except for the oil producers, arms producers and the gamers playing stock exchanges...the rest of us can go f*ck ourselves.
If what the President said was obviously wrong, why is the cabinet minister remaining anonymous? Why don't they proudly step up and defend the indefensible? Because Catherine Connolly isn't wrong. She's speaking the truth and cowards are afraid we'll piss off the liars.
President Connolly carrying on the proud tradition of speaking truth to power and embarrassing the snivelling hypocrites in government. No one should be going anywhere near the White House while this rogue regime is on a murderous rampage and threatening global stability.
The human form representing the inanity of capitalism / colonial modernity. The only good thing they have achieved is waking people up to the viciousness and cruelty of the system we live under and how it was never meant to serve anyone apart from the small group of white men who control it.

America is a true menace to humanity
People can debate AI all they like, but surely we can all agree that anyone who owns or uses a pair of the pervert glasses that secretly record people should be ostracised immediately and totally from our society? I'm sorry but your pervert glasses prove you're a pervert! Get out of town!
Technocapitalists’ great trick is to make people who hate all this bullshit feel like they’re suffering from the same fogeys-not-coping-with-a-changing-world syndrome every generation succumbs to, rather than, say, just rejecting a rampant evil that seeks to rob us of our individuality & and soul.
