Instead, they funded corrupt fascist movements, anti-democracy trust funds, & an AI bubble.

The fossil fuel industry quietly acquired & consolidated property insurers & underwriters for several reasons.

1. Profiting from the catastrophes of their own making

2. To thwart insurers from sounding the alarm on climate change

3. To thwart regulatory oversight into the price gouging & mortgage market manipulations

ie post-Katrina, only the self-insured could afford to rebuild homes.

4. Carpetbaggers started the land grabs immediately after the Maui & Altadena wildfires.

Koch Network leverages racism to attack public education & health. It spent millions to sabotage women's unions like teachers & nurses.

Trump wants to deprofessionalize nursing & teaching to remove access to student loans. The low wages in both jobs create severe labor shortages in schools & hospitals.

Alice Weidel is lying like all far right politicians.

Ukraine is going after what hurts Putin & his oligarchs the most; the money.

The money from oil.
The money for corrupt politicians like Trump & Orban.
The money of the billionaires buying tax evasion, regulatory impunity, and a frying planet.

Go after the money. It's a winning strategy for Ukraine and all of us.

The most corrupt industry on earth backs Putin, Weidel, & Trump.
