Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

What’s the point in contacting Senator Cancun? He’s so deep in the pocket of the lobby and special interest that he doesn’t need our encouragement or guidance.

Need to make sure all those O&G subsidies stick around! And don’t forget to whine about subsidies for wind/solar/etc!

The definition of 'Industry Association' seems innocent enough.
Gotta set some standards and how best to serve that public out there.
But when a specific industry associates solely for the purpose of eliminating competitive alternatives - that is called Monopolistic collusion.

The API is both a PAC and a propaganda machine against alternatives.
Collusion not only against the consumer and public, but against nature itself.
The senator cited says this more subtly.

To avoid any conflict of interest I must confess:
I myself was paid for a lengthy presentation to such an association - much smaller than the API, but influential in its scope. Back in '82.
The title of my slide-show presentation: "Bio-rhythms and Worker Safety".
It was a hit.

Maybe Keith McCoy will be hired by the API as a lobbyist in Washington DC. He has experience networking with Senators.

Why contact when you can buy?

The ones that donated to these lobbyists- suckers plain and simple. The wool was pulled & you were fleeced. Specially if you think they will help you “save” your jobs.

Correlation with layoffs is in there somewhere.
Petroleum Engineering departments at several universities will be closing shop soon.
