I'm from the US so I interpreted it the best I could. If others closer to the issue could provide more nuance it would be much appreciated.

In the article? The price change is noted at the end.

Trust, I am well aware. Part of a conservation degree is economics, because conservation directly has to argue in economic terms in order to persuade governments and stakeholders for support of passing legislation.

Unfortunately, the powers that be seem to have stopped caring entirely, ceasing to even performatively care. They want it all and they don't wish to negotiate anymore.

As someone who has a degree in wildlife conservation and has always been my dream to work for the Forest Services and have a career protecting what is left of this nation's natural wonder.

And they are doing this explicitly for the purposes of letting the logging and oil industry rape these natural wonders for fucking profit. For fake, imaginary fucking social value of which they already possess an obscene amount.

I cannot describe my anger and loathing.

No, don't think they dropped anything. They speak facts.

Always has been.

What is happening with this administration is exposing the great flaw of electoralism that anarchists and other leftists have been warning about for nearly a century.

That if we do not restructure our society, our politics and our culture leave us manipulatable to where these corrupt individuals could systematically consolidate power and out themselves or their allies into positions of power.

This is the result of not a decade but over a century of political and systemic manipulation by the owning-class.

Living in the US during this time has radicalized me so much against the system.

Oh wow. Watched a bit of S1 of this. Good show from what I remember. Absolutely can't believe it has 4 seasons but I'm not gonna complain

Seriously, because it deserves reiterating, fuck American culture. Everything that is good that has come out of this country is because of its counter-culture doing things in spite of it.

Because of their actions, the government is negotiating relief packages for people in key economic sectors being affected by the price gouging. So, "idiots" is a pretty weird way of saying "protestors who actually understand how to leverage their collective power to force the system's hand to respect their demands"

Did you read the article? The fuel stations are running out because of blockades by protests. They have fuel. Hell, they are nearly to the point of needing to turn away ships because they are nearing capacity.

The protests are because of fuel pricing being gouged and impacting the livelihoods of these people.

These actions have forced the government's hand at providing relief packages to people in need, especially those in key economic sectors such as food production, public transit, and emergency services.

The owning-class can go without making obscene profits off of an international crisis. That's all that the people are asking for.
