Chevron: Green, Woke and Here for the Duration

In an interview with NYTImes, the CEO of Chevron says they are investing plenty in "carbon capture and storage, lithium and renewable fuels." And you thought they didn't care about warming. He also claims they " put a premium on diversity and inclusion," which they might want to keep a little closer to the vest. Cause it sounds a little bit like gay race communism to me. Basically, the CEO uses Doomberg's logic; every last molecule of hydrocarbons is going to be used by somebody so it might as well be us. " When the world stops using oil and gas, we’ll stop looking for it" he says with a shrug. They are just giving the customer what she wants. "We need to do things that meet demand as it exists and then evolve as demand evolves." In other words, capitalism. It's just the way it is. " The CEO says he has to " balance out all these competing interests." You know, the mass extinction of species versus making a profit. The forced displacement of millions of people versus keeeping his job. A very tough task, doing this "balancing". I'm not saying he is a monster, but what he does is monstrous. Not everyone is cut out for this line of work, balancing your children's future against keeping the economy humming. Actually, his kids will be mostly fine, they'll learn to live with the suffering around them much as he has. "We’re not engaged in idealism. We’ve got to be pragmatic and real," he says. He's real and realistic, not caught up in some idealistic "save the glaciers" bullshit, save the coral reefs, whatever. What is real is the lifestyle we have become accustomed to. Doomberg will tell you the same thing. Speaking of capitalist realism, some heavy hitters in NY are getting nervous about this Mandami upstart. "“The time to act is now,” read the email. “If we fail to mobilize, the financial capital of the world risks being handed over to a socialist this November. We cannot — and will not — let that happen.” Sounds like the Czar, fretting about the Bolsheviks. Maybe Rudy Guiliani should step in! In other world news, Gen Z has overrun the government of Nepal because "democratic" capitalism has failed the country. Old story, corruption, elite capture, rule of the wealthy. Which takes us to France where the government is calling for , wait for it...austerity! Cutting back on social provision and taxes for the wealthy. How original. The rich are threatening "capital flight" if they get taxed. The system cannot work. Period.
