#Energy companies such as #Exxon & #Chevron do not set the price of #US #oil, which ricocheted from $68 to $115 a barrel during the quarter. It’s driven by supply & demand, & what traders, refiners & other buyers are willing to pay. Nevertheless, #Democrats in #Congress introduced bills in March to tax major oil producers for profits they show from 2026 onward & have the tax proceeds redistributed to #consumers. #BigOil #WarProfiteering #FossilFuels #TrumpsWar #IranWar #economy #affordability

@pluralistic@mamot.fr From the article: Courts have traditionally not allowed people to waive the right to sue. But binding arbitration agreements are now routine in everyday contracts. Since these court decisions, tens of billions of dollars that used to flow to consumers, employees, and small businesses stopped. More importantly, big business simply no longer has to care about treating anyone honestly, because there is effectively no more redress through the courts. #Rights #Consumers

As the oil price dips on the prospect that intermediaries might be able to rebuild some semblance of ceasefire between the US & Iran we have the opportunity (far from the conflict's fatal consequences) to see, once again, the petrol price's well observed trajectory of 'up like a rocket, down like a feather'.... and its worth observing (as I have before) that retail petrol firms make their 'extra' profit from conflict during the slow(er) decline of the price. #politics #FossilFuels #consumers

Besides being unfair, the new #tariffs are a strategic mistake: They will harm the #US #economy & the US partnership with #Brazil. Several US industrial sectors depend on Brazilian inputs. Food, footwear, textiles, furniture, auto parts & many other products will become more expensive for US #consumers. #Lula #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #trade #Trump #ElectionInterference #coup #Jan6 #BigLie #JairBolsonaro

The move provides fresh evidence of Trump’s intention to transform #GlobalTrade, despite numerous #court challenges & the protests of #US #consumers & businesses that have been stuck with higher #tax bills. Over the past 17 months, the #Trump admin has cycled through #trade #law after trade law as it tries to build a system to shield the US #economy from foreign #competition [it’s called a #FreeMarket, pretty freaking American] #tariffs

#BirthTourism to the United States is a fucking lie. EVEN TO NEW YORK. we had 8 years of a Republican governor that helped gut hospitals all across the state and 12 years of fucking Bloomberg in #nyc who didn't know a hospital or clinic he didn’t want to close down. y’all have no idea of how huge is the hidden poverty of upstate #NY, thanks to neoliberal capitalists dismantling our #makers economy to turn us into #consumers ―and yet we ain't as bad as Texas. source: https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/maternal-mortality-rate-by-state
