Yes, I get that Trump and most of his owners are old, but even if you ignore climate change, ignore the health impact of petroleum, ignore the instability that petrowealth has created, etc, we’re left with a short term solution. We’re ignoring development of new industry, new jobs, new technologies that could benefit us indefinitely, for short term profit, someone finite and non-renewable. Even if they wanted to milk the petro-profit as long as possible, why destroy the possibility of competing in the future technology?

How are they so short-sighted?
They are old. They have zero empathy. They are addicted to money.
They are not short sighted. They just don’t care who’s at the bottom after they pull the ladder up.
The only thing they worry about is being in prison with no money. Which is why it very rarely ever happens.
