With absolute turd in chief Jeff Landry having just won the governorship, along with many other huge Republican wins in last week's state election, I must say I'm very pessimistic for the future.

The oil companies know what's coming and their plan is to go ahead and cram 50 years of extraction and consumption down into the shortest period they can profitably achieve. If the Earth is a bank, they're making a run on it and ensuring they get "their money" before everyone else loses everything in the big crash. And with the entire LA government captured, I think they'll get what they want.
