    Someone should do a second CEO assassination but this time maybe the oil industry so they know that no CEO is safe.

        Up-voted, but we only need oil at the moment because the oil industry keeps strangling baby competitors. A quick, non-sourced search shows that Oil got 90-ish Billion (1) in government subsidies in 2020, while Solar got 7. Even if the numbers are 50% of actual, Renewables are not getting the help they need to become/stay viable.

        (1): And that might be a waaaaay low-ball estimate: Yale said they got Trillions. Though that may be over several years.

        Perhaps lobbyists could be the next class identified as extraneous.
