Again: do it. The sooner we can cast off the yoke of the Middle East’s hold on our power generation via oil, the better. Things like this can only accellerate the process: good. Keep it up and accellerate even more.
Just a tip, in political circles acceleration is generally a term to avoid. It’s a loosely defined, dogshit ideology. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerationism
True, but I’m only talking about specifically cutting ties with the M…E (gradually) and transitioning to a green energy model ASAP, not about the wider political implications.
It’s very clear that’s not what OP was talking about
i am starting to think excessive rich people are not THAT good for society
Eat the rich.
I know that no one is actually serious when they say this, but I think all it would take would be one.
If we just drag Bezos or Musk out in the streets and have an actual barbecue with them I feel like the rest would start to support a wealth tax pretty fucking quickly.The rich would use the media to create a zombie style fear of the average person and sow paranoia to rouse security systems like police and national guard to action. They would lock down everyone rather than suffer losing one person.
Keep in mind that eating just one rich isn’t as scary as the promise of eating more. The rich will use their their considerable resources, and cooperate, to stop them from succumbing to populist hunger.
I have to say, all that work makes the meat sound tastier to me lol.
Nope gotta taste them all.
You got me hungry, I wonder if it would be like eating an aged veal? 🤔
You won’t drag anyone.
Dibs on the Bezos bbq ribs
Yep you keep your Bezos ribs.
I’ll need more sauce
Money is not true value, currency is a placeholder for true value that is used to facilitate trade. Rich people are worth less than the profits they extract from coordinating labor. But they extract enough to think they’re still better than those they exploit.
You’re on a list now.
Call. Their. Bluff.
We’ll see if Saudi Arabia’s attempt to control the West works this time. They sure do a good job with the U.S. despite being behind 9/11.
Using bonds to blackmail the European Union? I hope they will be barred from buying bonds for all eternity.
Sell to whom? Do Euro bonds work differently than in the US?
You can sell bonds in the US and it’s only slightly different from selling a stock. The bond changes hands, but the government debt and interest payments remain static. (The buyer and seller get to deal with premium/discounts and accrued interest, but that has zero effect on the underlying debt from the issuing government)
I don’t understand why this would be a bad thing for them to sell.
And how much UAE assets is held in Europe?
