Republicans.

juliadilliard.bsky.social•3 days ago

Because the Republican Party is owned by the fossil fuel industry.

delfinr.bsky.social•3 days ago

Because they are bigots

rozietheriveter.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think it has something to do with their god and dominion over the earth. Also, billionaires…

Those subsidies should have been done away with decades and decades ago

IKR?

Because we have a large Orange Asshole in charge of our government and his Regime Congress will let do anything he wants👽

What?? We don’t subsidize oil and gas, they are that profitable all on their own… I mean we didn’t pass taxes, laws and guarantee purchases for them since the 1960s. Thats just crazy talk!!

Because we have crooked and greedy politicians

Because we are a greedy and stupid country

So the government can collect $ 7.5 billion a year in royalties.

Why didn’t you ask this over the past decades? Oil companies are subsidized by the government when democrats are in power. Pay attention.

The things you don't learn on right wing media.

The Trump administration continued and in some cases expanded subsidies for the oil and gas industry, a practice common across administrations.

Because not enough people showed up to vote for Democrats?

pamballard3.bsky.social•3 days ago

Agreed, why are we paying these rich companies.

thecowboyflyer.bsky.social•3 days ago

So much for removing fraud and waste from government. I guess big oil wasn’t investigating Elon for anything.

I think their slogan was

DRILL BABY DRILL?

I think you answered the first question with the second.

jayne4freedom.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yep.

Green energy didn't bribe him with a plane

"we" aren't, "they are". You really want to know why, I recommend Google.

I'm still waiting for gas prices to come down. Guess 45 still still full of gas

djwebs64.bsky.social•3 days ago

They’ve been making record profits for a lot longer than that.

laverneousdonkler.bsky.social•3 days ago

Because they're corrupt and financed by the Earth Rape Industry.

blackshagreen.bsky.social•3 days ago

Because they can.

yetanotherbin.bsky.social•3 days ago

You know why…death cult is money cult is death cult.

resiliencebarbie.bsky.social•3 days ago

Because Big Oil is lining the pockets of the GOP.

jayne4freedom.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yep!

melooklisten.bsky.social•3 days ago

The billionnaires that bought tRump have zero intention of allowing the tax payers' money to be used for anyone but themselves.

astoundedamerican.bsky.social•3 days ago

Exactly the right questions.

dorthyz.bsky.social•2 days ago

Fuckery... corporate welfare. Never envy rich people, majority of them are crooks started and milking the government tit. Money gives them power and then they make laws protecting their privilege.

springlock5.bsky.social•3 days ago

Because, the people that are involved in that business are fucking scumbags, and they don’t fucking care about anybody else (let alone the planet) except for themselves?
