We are already well on the way to totalitarianism.
The state keeps getting bigger and bigger. Just across the channel the EU end goal is a supra national state called Europe.
Democratic it ain't and that, before anything else, should be of deep concern to people.
Just reflect on the major policy decisions in the UK in recent years that have been enacted without the consent of the people. I'll give you net zero as a freebie :)
We even have a PM who is unelected. Bit like the EU really.
I originally put jungle instead of swamp but there is indeed a rule of law in the jungle that is way above the standards (sic) of th gangsters in Chad.
Citigroup has a market capitalisation of $80 billion and I've a feeling this will not sit too comfortably when the top people get wind of events, particularly contradictory statements in writing, relating to an international legal dispute.
"4. Citibank, N.A.’s Mr. Dawodu sent a subsequent letter on July 14, 2023, in which
he claimed for the first time that the Gabon Branch is a separate corporate entity not controlled by
Citibank. A true and correct copy of the July 14, 2023 letter is annexed hereto as Exhibit 15. As
demonstrated in SMIL’s Memorandum of Law, the claim that the Gabon Branch is a separate
entity not controlled by Citibank is contradicted by numerous public statements by Citibank,
including in prior litigation in this District."
I wouldn't have thought that a vesting of share options rns would be withheld for any reason. And wasn't the vesting threshold crossed between mid Jan and mid March ?

2 posts since August and several hundred in the other place, during the same time period, including some from Rodders :)
"I would caveat that I want to reduce pollution of the air, seas and land along with stopping deforestation."
I share your scepticism on man made climate change, after all isn't CO2 essential to life. It makes up a mere .04% of the earth's atmosphere. Plant more trees if people are serious about man's effects on the planet and stop chopping down the rain forests. I understand that 4 trees in the long term will capture around 1 ton of CO2.
I was recently reading about our wonderful Jurassic coast between East Devon and Dorset. This part caught the eye:
"What happened at the Jurassic Coast?
The Jurassic period was a warm and humid time and the creation of rainforests replaced the previous deserts. The first birds appeared and the oxygen content was 130% of what we know today! Sea levels rose and tropical seas were the order of the day along our Jurassic Coast."
Putting the Savannah element of this situation to one side for a moment, please have a look at this link, which reveals the plight of the people of Chad, of whom 80% are below the poverty line.
Their GDP is around $12 billion and Exxon's net worth is $468 billion and growing rapidly.
