About this episode
The episode discusses the influence of major financial institutions on environmental issues and the need for direct action against fossil fuel corporations.
I’m talking about big oil banks. Their weapons are bombs and bullets, oil-heated buildings, exhaust pipes, methane leaks at fracked gas wells…. Fossil fuel. And why call them governments? The budget of Chase would make it the 11th largest country, if we called it a country. And BlackRock’s budget is the size of Germany and France combined. Our humor and music - is it getting through? Because we don’t need more statistics. We know how bad the fires and floods are. We gotta find our direct action. How will we save life? Can we? Will we? Will you?
