    A. It’s a pat on the back attempt to trick people into thinking they care

    B. There were DEFINITELY back door deals being made beforehand on energy uses and technologies, so IF they move forward, they’ve already invested money into those energy companies, so while they “spend” money in infrastructure, it’ll be returned in dividends and stock prices. So they’re not really losing any money overall.

    C. Fuck them because there’s no way they all just up and agreed to this, unless there’s something in it for Trump’s family to profit off of it. So there your reason why this magic reversal of policy happened.

      Yes, and they are silent about the infrasound causing seizures, the environmental destruction and the water usage.

      Brad Smith at Microslop is wormtongue, lies every time. They increased support for IDF-adjacent orgs after saying they stopped sharing the phone call data they store at a Netherlands data center with the IDF. They’ll stop at nothing to exchange your blood for slop.

    I trust them fully. They pledge to not screw you over.

    Like how Google and Microsoft pledged to reduce emissions.

    Like how NVIDIA pledged to invest $100 billion in OpenAI
