    I love how they have endless money for their fake shadow governments and their corrupt campaigns, but aren’t willing to pony up a penny to keep our society functioning

      Spending millions to avoid billions in taxes is a good ROI, until the guillotines and pitchforks start appearing.

      A lot of their donations started after their Corpus Christi plant got dinged for benzene leaks (or more accurately; dinged for not monitoring them. Because you know. Self reporting is totally a good idea.)

      For example in the Y2k election… they dumped 900 thousand into bush’s campaign and surprise surprise regulatory charges went away for 10 million.

      It’s literally more profitable to buy fucking politicians than it is to not pollute.
