There's a big problem coming our way and we could address it, but look over there, Scott! There's a unicorn that spits natural gas and oil out of its orifices! Wow! Let's see how much profit we can ring out of it - the end of the conversation. Ugh.

All this war for all this meaninglessness, and no one wants to be a hero with purpose. We have to nationalize natural resources like energy and water to stop the inefficient, profit-seeking, overconsumption waste, and the US would never take a dime off its corporate amigos! Meanwhile, sanctions enabled Putin to reign in the oligarchs and nationalize assets while we fire up coal-power plants and frack everything we see. Great.
