Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I agree, it's not yet legal to shoot Exxon CEOs and executives on sight. Maybe we should take their example and consider the legal world more malleable than we do.

CO2 injection is used to help extract oil from reservoirs, but getting CO2 there is expensive, Exxon wants the people's money (government subsidies) so they get a free ride producing cleaner (cheaper) oil from (economically) dead reservoirs.

And don’t forget, not only are they focused on oil but also lithium.

Because they know their goose is cooked but that won’t stop them double dipping in all of those Government hand outs.

Are you sure that’s lithium and not latinum?

263rd Rule of Acquisition: “ Never allow doubt to tarnish your lust for latinum.”

#102: Nature decays, but latinum lasts forever.

You’ve got the lobes of a shrewd Ferengi.

Let's pick a guy and execute him. Problem solved.

I volunteer the next one in the thread!
