The recent spikes in the price of gas and oil in North America has very little to do with Trump’s War, and everything to do with multinational corporations and governments profiteering.
The gas you bought today at the pump did not just arrive from the Middle East. In fact, only the tiniest fraction of that comes here. Most of that oil is destined for China, India, Japan and Southeast Asia. Spikes in price there *might* be justified. Supply & demand vs gouging.

#War is a #Racket is #marine #general Smedley Butler's classic #treatise on why wars are conducted, #who #profits from them, and who #pays the price.
When War is a Racket was published in 1935, Butler was the most decorated American soldier of the First World War. He came away with a deeply troubled view of both the purpose and the results of #warfare. He saw #billionaires walk away with #fortunes, and the #costs #paid in #human #lives and #public #debt.

Email #Ofwat - the public have said NO to illegal #sewage until 2040
In order to maximise their #profits, #Thames #Water's creditors are asking Ofwat and the government to pollute illegally until 2040.
Members of the public, MPs and #anti-sewage campaigners have all spoken out about how outrageous this deal is, urging Ofwat to say no.
Take half a minute to sign the letter:

@lemonde aucun argument #concret 🤔
Voilà ce que je retiens de cet article creux, qui s'évade de discours en tirades, comme une élégante ballade, altière, céleste, aérienne, hors sol.
Solennelle, définitive, irréfutable comme le fait que le #roi l'est de droit divin. Car le monde réel, c'est comme le bas #peuple , on s'en fout.
La vie des #juifs ne vous intéresse que depuis qu'elle vous permet d'augmenter vos #profits . On se souvient très bien de quand c'était le contraire.
Ayez au moins la décence d'avoir honte de vous-même.

Many think #banks are #neutral (for it's #speculation? investment into #war? #paying for what #profits most devastating in a short time?) and it isn't #moral actually passing through those hands full of #bad actors (#immoral #investments) and growing what #fucks people best and #sucks most out of them.

When I was a #smallbusiness & #startup mentor there was one question I'd ask that would stop them cold, the answer to which could transform their #ROI and #profits if they knew the answer: https://boldly.blue/how-to-know-your-customer-acquisition-cost/
