They’re all fine with the green néw deal as long as they have access to your stuff too.

Biden is going to implement price controls on energy and call it a carbon tax or something stupid like that and Elizabeth warren, Bernie, AOC, Schumer and the rest of the Muppets, along with the laurel and hardy press will get a big kick out of beating up the oil and gas people.

How did we get to this point as a country where we have no shared values? If anyone has a spare “opt out” form, please let me know
