It's estimated that US oil companies could gain a windfall of $60B this year if crude prices maintain the levels they have hit since the start of Trump's war on Iran. Remember that Big Oil spent spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024. That investment is paying off quite well for them.

As yet another UBI trial rolls past showing that it works really well, it's hard not to conclude that the main reason nobody adopts it is because bad employers don't want to give up their leverage over the desperate and poor to work in shit conditions for pittance.

Over the next few weeks we'll see Micheál Martin's White House visit framed as a very difficult task, something he'll need his wits about him to get through, & one that requires no small amount of seriousness & diplomacy. When really it's a fascist enabling jaunt he should have rejected outright

If what the President said was obviously wrong, why is the cabinet minister remaining anonymous? Why don't they proudly step up and defend the indefensible? Because Catherine Connolly isn't wrong. She's speaking the truth and cowards are afraid we'll piss off the liars.
