Oil Sheik Heads Up the United Nations Climate Meeting and Billionaires Run For Office
The self-destructive fools aren’t even bothering to cover their tracks nowadays.
The people who are gleefully destroying the Earth, who are so foolish that they actually think of this as a “victory” simply because it gives them more wealth and power, are now pretty openly stepping out from behind the curtain and showing themselves.
It used to be that billionaires would simply buy legislation using their lobbyists as intermediaries. No getting your hands dirty. No muss, no fuss.
No longer. Michael Bloomberg, Tom Steyer, Donald Trump, Howard Schultz and now Vivek Ramaswamy were all presidential candidates. They don’t mind the spotlight. In addition to wealth and power, they want fame. They want it all and don’t care if the entire planet dies.
For them, that’s winning. They are all incredibly short-sighted fools. Some of them actually understand the implications of continued C02 emissions and ongoing burning of fossil fuels. (A few proposed some nominal steps to address the climate crisis — but not nearly enough.) And some are simply too stupid to recognize the crisis at all.
Functionally, they are all criminally insane.
