Yeah, let's just keep on drilling and burning and polluting and climate-destroying.
This administration can't see any future beyond the tip of their noses. Certainly no future that doesn't make them even richer.

For some reason many, many old people in powerful positions refuse to hand over their power to anybody else until they die or literally cannot function in any capacity.
