Big Oil’s climate conscience vanished as soon as Trump returned. For Brad Swanson, author of "Profit vs. Progress," the lesson is simple: that “ethical capitalism” has always been a contradiction in terms.
Who was surprised when Big Oil dropped climate pledges the minute Trump won reelection? I thought not. Yes, corporations are amoral profit machines. It's not a bug, it's a feature. To change the outcome, revise the rulebook

I signed!
Ronald Reagan, not known as a great humanitarian, gave illegals amnesty rather than deport them. But it foundered when millions surged across the border. Today the public supports a path to citizenship, so long as the border remains tight. Democrats, take notice!
