I would definitely like to read your updated take on the Iran conflict. I'm a firm believer that our capitalistic aggressions in the Middle East are and always have been over petroleum.
The only thing Trump understands is transactions that make him richer. The fossil fuel industry donated heavily to his campaign election and we're seeing the results. The selling off of public lands for timber is for the lumber industry, who, you guessed it, donated to his campaign. The same an be said for all of the controversial things he does.
Trump is the world's greatest, to date, grifter. He doesn't care about anything other than doing whatever it takes to get people to pay attention to him and gather more money for himself at anyone else's expense. He doesn't care if he steals it right out from under everyone's noses. He's not trying to hide it anymore because he doesn't have anything left to lose.
He doesn't care about the environment, unless there's money in it for him. He doesn't care about anyone dealing with the extreme temperatures as he is living in the best air conditioning the tax payers can pay for. The same can be said for his golf weekends. He doesn't care because someone else is paying the bills. He's eating fancy food in his comfy quarters without a care in the world, other than figuring out where his next million dollars is going to come from at someone else's expense.
He also knows on a sub-level, that he will be dead before climate change will ever affect his personal comfort. Not that his kids are much better but they're pretty much stupid beyond reason anyway. They don't care about anything more than what their father tells them to.
This just enrages me more than ever. If this disastrous monstrosity of a bill passes, It seems to me that if there were any true non-climate denying billionaires ( Hello, Bill and Michael), they should get their checkbooks handy to buy back OUR public lands and put them into permanent conservation. The only moral road. Just sayin'.
I approve of making politicians feel the heat, including but not limited to the Democrats who recently reached across the aisle with Republicans to support pro-crypto legislation. They should just admit that they're backed financially by the industry and save us all time.

This Substack is so aptly named.

Thank you for this piece! I'm so disappointed in all the news organizations saying the heat wave is due to the heat dome - yes, AND climate change!
