    "Hess, in statements included in the filing, has praised OPEC’s price-controlling pumping. He said in a 2021 Hess earnings call that the cartel’s leadership had done a “masterful job [in] giving the market what it needs, but not oversupplying it,” and that “OPEC, I think, has done a great job managing the oil market.”

    Go fuck yourself.

    "In a dissenting opinion from the agency’s Monday ruling, Melissa Holyoak, a commissioner at the FTC, argued that in both the Chevron-Hess and Exxon-Pioneer cases, there was “no reason to believe the law has been violated.”

    Also, go fuck yourself. Why?

    Gee go figure, Republican Melissa Holyoak

      She’s a great communicator and seems to be genuine in trying to help Americans.

      To be pedantic, as Chair of the FTC, Ms. Khan isn’t a cabinet member. The FTC is an independent agency, which exists outside of the executive branch’s departments. The heads of the departments are cabinet members. Think: DOJ, DOD, State, Agriculture, Interior, Education, Energy, Treasury, etc.

    I’m shocked that key personnel in an industry dependent on the destruction of the environment would be so immoral…

    There are conspiracies after all, but they’re just the usual ‘capitalist assholes screw the rest of us over’ kind rather than the ‘three-assed aliens kidnapped me and forced me to watch naked while they fed pineapple on a pizza to my dog’ kind.

      Not jail.

      I recommend once a year we vote. We will nominate certain executive boards and their families and the most voting on one will get guillotine’d. Spike their heads around the White House so other corporations know we are serious. I think the first to EARN this right is the Saddler family. They lied to doctors about how addictive their drugs were and got multiple generations hooked on narcotics. This leds to countless deaths and the destruction of many families.

      I think it’s only fair to return the favor. If there has been a family member (of nominated family) speaking out against their family then that person could be spared. That would be voted on too.

    Poor environmentalists don’t know what to do about this news!

    More expensive gas makes everything more expensive

    Cheaper gas means people burn more of it which is bad for the environment
