But also consider that "we" ain't really "we the people". "We" in this case are the private companies involved in the oil industry. "We the People" only step in when we want to tell the industry not to buy from certain countries (like Venezuela or Russia) because we feel they are assholes.

Let's see the companies step up. Let's see how consumers step up. There was a strong support for BLM (even though most of that money was used to buy mansions and extravagant goods) so there should not be a problem for the woke companies to stop doing business with Russia and China.

Russia is a large producer of oil. China is a large producer of cheap shit we run to Walmart and buy. I want to see Walmart ban all products from both companies, along with any other business that sells or has their goods made in either of those countries. We should cut them off 100%.

This war between Russia and Ukraine and the eagerness from China to invade Taiwan should be a wake-up call to all Americans and the rest of the world. We have a chance to prevent hindsight 20/20, but it will take balls. Does America still have balls?
