This young man was murdered by the for-profit healthcare system in the United States.

Excellent article on a top news story.
"Greenland is rich in natural resources – a geologist explains why"

Soon, an unfortunate dilemma may need to be addressed. Should Greenland’s increasingly available resource wealth be extracted with gusto, in order to sustain and enhance the energy transition? But doing so will add to the effects of climate change on Greenland and beyond, including despoiling much of its pristine landscape and contributing to rising sea levels that could swamp its coastal settlements.

Currently, all mining and resource extraction activities are heavily regulated by the government of Greenland through comprehensive legal frameworks dating from the 1970s. However, pressures to loosen these controls, and to grant new licences for exploration and exploitation, may increase amid the US’s strong interest in Greenland’s future.

Parasite. Cartoon for Dutch newspaper Trouw.

Cartoon showing a giant tick sucking the world dry. The body of the tick is a giant money bag with a dollar sign and the legs are giant steel pipes, that are plugged into the earth together with the head, extracting its resources. At the top a the tick's body is a gated community filled with opulent villas that have roof pools and helicopter landing pads. A golden gate labeled 'The 1%' gives access to the villas.

They're costing the world, not just the USA. Fossil fuel subsidies are killing us all.

"The Oil and Gas Industry Is Costing American Taxpayers, Consumers, and Communities:
By Jessica Maher, Virginia Palacios & Tyson Slocum Oct. 9, 2025."
https://ssir.org/articles/entry/fossil-fuel-subsidies-taxpayer-costs

The American consumer also pays indirectly to support oil and gas corporations through higher energy costs. For example, consumers are paying the price for the industry’s decision to maximize profits by exporting gas for higher prices abroad. Just this June, the Energy Information Administration said that “higher natural gas prices in 2025 and 2026 are the result of strong export growth that persistently outpaces US natural gas production.” This government agency reiterated this expectation in September, concluding that domestic gas prices will likely increase by 50 percent over the next year, due to “relatively flat natural gas production amid an increase in US liquefied natural gas exports.”
Consumers’ energy bills are also expected to increase because the Trump administration is forcing utilities to keep open aging and expensive coal and gas plants that were slated for retirement, likely adding $3 billion per year to our nation’s electricity bills. The administration is simultaneously attempting to crush renewables, which are usually the cheapest source of new electricity.

Capitalism is an evil system marked by luck, unpredictability, irrationality, inefficiency, frequent market crashes, economic inequality, corruption, and ultimately, the consolidation of wealth and power in the hands of the ultra-rich.
