It might help to understand that the GOP/Conservatives have no interest in being morally consistent. The only metric they have is our guys good, yours bad. Consistency doesn't matter, being a team player does, and the goal is unrestricted power. Once they have that they don't have to listen to anyone's criticisms. Stop trying to reason in response to them.
Oil production and distribution is an international operation, and oil markets are just that, Markets. Very few if any countries drill, produce, refine and consume their own petroleum sources. Most countries may have only one or a couple facilities that can extract or refine oil. All crude oil is assessed by its grade and given a value on the international market. Extractive economies (Russia for example) have to either refine and consume their own product which they can't use to put currency in their economy or they sell raw crude to, say, India for US Dollars. India will either refine it for it's own needs or sell it at market. Canada extracts it's oil from oil sands, sends it down to the gulf coast for refining and transshipment to other markets. This is classically a Capitalist supply and demand market, and oil producing countries use oil proceeds to buy foreign currency reserves, regardless of their political system. The entirety of it is Capitalist from beginning to end.
That you're even attempting to try and deflect the various excesses of Capitalism with specious reasoning like "Communist countries produce oil too so not Capitalism" is puerile and an argument in bad faith. You're trying to work back towards your hypothesis "Capitalism good" without doing the work of actually building the argument. Your ineffective points are useless and wholly unconvincing. You're just a shill without an intellectual understanding of what you are attempting to put across. Your ham-fisted defense of Capitalism is simple refutation, you haven't posited anything yourself, you're just attempting to refute what other's have responded to your bait question. Saying "nuh-uh" isn't a defense or a rationale.
I've wasted more time on this than I cared to.
If you're going to continue going to bat for Capitalism as your growth fueled world begins to burn around you, you might consider putting the blame at the feet of the petrochemical industry which is decidedly Capitalist. Have a nice day.
Capitalism exploits resources with an eye on ever-increasing "growth". Capitalism abhors anything that either lessens "growth" or doesn't actively encourage it. Growth for growth's sake is a dead-end road, one we're rapidly approaching. That China had the same mindset isn't an aberration, the CCP and Chinese economy leverages the tools of Capitalism and the proceeds go to Communism (and corruption), to fuel stratospheric growth in order to counter Western hegemony. That China embraced Capitalistic growth models is a means to an end, it may be called Communistic Capitalism. It's an economic model, not a political one.
Think I missed the "actually do it" part, definitely changes the context. I did a bad.
If you think Desantis has an edge on him I don't know where you're getting your news from, then.
Its bad even getting close to Cowshwitz. The air is kind of green as you get close to it on the 5, all of a sudden you remember it's there and try desperately to roll up windows or shut down the airflow in the car. In the end, it doesn't help.
I fear it's going to take some extraordinary measures that will hurt a lot of people. It would be ugly all around.
Just a moment to note that Apple backtracked on all those threats about CSAM scanning and now doesn't support the technology being implemented.
Atheists here in the US can only dream of the religious/political agreement you enjoy. American Evangelicals have divorced themselves from objective reality.
Not drinking today or any other day. All of you can do this!
I almost lost everything, keeping in mind that even one drink puts me right back on a path to losing it all forever helps me, personally. Can't/won't do it.
