No one asks to shut down the oil industry right now. I was talking about limiting record high Big Oil profits. Reasonable profits for the oligarchy doesn't mean depression, it means delivering for the majority of the people, while saving the environment and their children's lives. The time is past.
As I said, worse than the government doing nothing is people conditioned to believe that change is impossible, and that any effort to make things better is futile. A vicious circle.
