I thought reading it as anything other than sexual innuendo is a stretch. How would he know how many exited. I also imagine the same kind of person who would shoot someone unarmed 7 times and brag about it is also the kind of psychopath who would try to make an ill-attempted sexual innuendo about it.

I just wouldn’t rule it out and I don’t think he deserves the benefit of the doubt here.

Sometimes I feel we should be writing these numbers out fully. That’s something worth $4,000,000,000,000 that’s not paying anything substantial to improve your life. If they paid $400M in taxes they’d still be worth about $4T.

And then I wonder how frequently humans misinterpret the mistranslated news.

Well written, interesting article. Sometimes it’s hard to see the work going on in the background, even if we don’t agree with how they’re going about it. It sounds like it all comes down to an accountability issue, how is oil and gas being held accountable for their empty promises (which we’ve made deal based on before and lost). It’s notable how all our other industries have reduced emissions while oil and gas shave increased, and passed those profits back to shareholders in the states.
