Level 8

You forgot to mention the $440 billion in yearly subsidies oil companies receive from the federal government. That is exactly $440 billion of OUR dollars.

Level 8

We need rent controls, price controls, and a landlord tax. In addition, we need to confiscate the yachts and mansions of American oligarchs. No mercy. Those who resist go to the guillotine!

We are long overdue in having oligarch heads roll.....

Level 8

I say nationalize the oil companies. In this age of rapid climate change we need to get rid of oil barons running the energy companies.

But, but, but..... that's socialism (sarcasm) and we can't have that in America......

If we can't nationalize them, lets declare them a public utility and regulate them as such. I bet gas prices would drop 50% just with the threat.
