Lowering fuel taxes when supply is tight is stupid policy: it keeps demand and prices artificially high, most of it ends up with those who don't need support, and in the end, it's a money transfer from people who use little or no fuel to people who use a lot, e.g. SUV owners.

Those who call themselves centrist, non-political, neither left nor right: You are doing exactly what the cult wants. If we are going to save this world, the only one we have, we have to take a very strong and active stance. Now.

It's time to remind ourselves what Desmond Tutu said… "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." That's meant for you Mr Sheeran🤬

Geologists and evolutionary biologists do not have to debate creationists. Astronomers do not have to debate pre-Copernican theories of the heavens. Doctors do not have to debate anti-vax nuts. Climate scientists do not have to debate industry-funded deniers. All that goes for racists times ten.
