This is a problem that is, unironically, best solved with bullets. How many oil & gas companies have standing militaries?
If psychos targeted board rooms and CEOβs instead of schools and malls, then Iβd even contribute to their defense fund
The only time I've heard of this is the Unabomber, surprising it doesn't happen more often. It is strange how insulated the actual driving forces behind increased gun violence and irresponsibly lax policy makers are from the product of their efforts.
None. They contract that out to the likes of the Wagner Group and Academi.
What in the actual fuck are you getting at? Shooting people who work for Oil & Gas?
No, just the people who own them.
So you're advocating for murder in the 1st degree?
Arguably, yes, but I don't consider billionaires human, and even if they were I'd consider the environmental damage they do a hostile act against the nations they occur in, meaning it would less be murder and moreso a retaliatory strike.
Hope that helps.
Your only chance to "outgun" oil companies is through politics and leveraging the power of the state. Whether it is Chevron in Nigeria during the late 90s or the Canadian company Enbridge in Minnesota now, or pretty much every story since we began extracting energy resources from the ground, energy companies are absolutely able to fund security that will operate on their behalf with overwhelming force.
Can't wait for the dystopic super soldiers developed solely for oil baron PMCs
