    These people are not thinking hard enough about what a second Trump term would mean.

    It is hard to take in record profits when the dollar has fallen by 35% and there are parts of the country engulfed in a civil war after Trump cancelled the 2028 election.

    • Exactly. They’re being really unwise here. After all,

      Big Oil has done just fine under Biden, setting records for oil and gas production, launching massive new projects, and more or less guffawing in the general direction of the energy transition

      so by hoping to get more from that other guy - it’s just asking for more money, all else be danged. Or, like burning your torso to keep your head warm.
