The writing's on the wall for the #oilindustry 🧟♂️⚰️
"first, which'll happen as soon as Strait of #Hormuz is reopened, is tt price of #oil will drop.. oil is sold to everyone at te same price, but the cost of producing a barrel of oil varies widely among #Opec members.. So there has always been a process of negotiating #production #quotas inside Opec.. the real cost of using #fossilfuels is getting too great to bear, & other, cheaper #energy sources are available"
#Amen 🙏🍀🤞

CW: "Don't go to the US - Not with Trump in charge"
The dream holiday ended abruptly on Friday 26 September, as British tourists Karen and Bill Newton were trying to leave the US.
When they crossed the border, Canadian officials told them they didn’t have the correct paperwork to bring the car with them.
They were turned back to Montana on the American side – and to US border control officials.
Bill’s US visa had expired; Karen’s had not.“I worried then,” she says. “I was worried for him. I thought, well, at least I am here to support him.”
She didn’t know it at the time, but it was the beginning of an ordeal that would see Karen handcuffed,
shackled and sleeping on the floor of a locked cell,
before being driven for 12 hours through the night to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centre.
Karen was incarcerated for a total of six weeks – even though she had been travelling with a valid visa.Karen has no criminal record.
She is a grandmother who spent eight years working as an admin assistant at a primary school before her retirement.
“I don’t even have parking tickets in the background anywhere,” she says.
“I am not a dangerous criminal.
I didn’t enter the country illegally and I had everything I needed to be there.”So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long?
A possible answer began to emerge over the weeks she was incarcerated.
As Karen got to know the guards at the Northwest ICE Processing Center where she was held, she kept hearing the same thing from them:
🔥that ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone.“Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,” Karen says.
It’s no secret that the Trump administration has been pouring money into ICE.
Its annual budget – $6bn a decade ago – is now $85bn;
⚠️ICE is now the highest -funded law enforcement agency in the US.
Since last August, new recruits can expect to receive a signing-on bonus of up to $50,000.
Karen’s experience has left her convinced that ICE agents are being given even more incentives
– to arrest and detain anyone they possibly can, even blameless tourists who have all the paperwork they need to be in the US.Within days of Donald Trump’s second inauguration on 20 January 2025, his administration ordered ICE officials to detain more people,
with new #quotas that would increase the total number of arrests from a few hundred to 1,200-1,500 a day.
Reports immediately began to emerge of international travellers being detained by ICE officers. -

#Minnesota raised #AntiWoke Warrior and former #FauxNews pundit #PeteHegseth has used his #DJT admin #DOD perch to preach his disdain for #Diversity and "dudes in dresses” but seemed to embody the opposite values when he wrote his masters thesis at #Harvard Kennedy School endorsing “Ensuring low-income and minority children have the same opportunities as more affluent majority students is an essential goal and worth pursuing with vigor and substantial investment".
At that time in 2013, #Hegseth was working with a female Democratic state lawmaker in Minnesota on education issues, a decade before decrying the viability of females serving in the military.
His proposal called for prioritizing a diverse student body and maintaining a balance of race, class, gender, and geography, using "geographic #quotas" for admissions.
Hegseth wrote that closing racial achievement gaps was a "laudable goal" and promoted "#equality, diversity, and accessibility".

“…the officials who launched the raid on a Hyundai plant in Georgia, which has caused an uproar in South Korea after U.S. officials arrested more than 300 Korean workers, had a warrant to look for four people from Mexico. …once the officials were there, they decided to meet the quotas established by White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller by arresting South Koreans.”

Maybe we got carried away here a bit. Apart from some exotic taxes (excise tax, perhaps?), there shouldn't be any custom duties, as the #EU and #UK formed a #FreeTradeArea by signing the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (#TCA):
"Trade in goods: 👉Trade in goods between the EU and UK shall not be subject to any #tariffs or #quotas.👈 Traders can self-certify compliance with agreed rules of origin. However, as a...

#CO2 #carbon #emissions
#climateDebt #quotasPast emissions from the British Empire "double the UK's climate responsibility", making it one of the biggest CO2 emitters in history. Carbon Brief, the British news website dedicated to global warming, takes into account carbon dioxide emissions from countries formerly under British colonial rule, mainly the destruction of forests in India, Burma and Nigeria before their independence. This new data moves the United Kingdom from eighth to fourth place in the list of countries with the highest historical emissions, behind the United States, China and Russia.
