I always wanted to see someone make this EXACT commercial, but for American health insurance companies, instead of big oil. The American healthcare system needs this sort of thing just as badly as the oil industry does, if not even more. Because people are at least aware of, and care about all the stuff the oil companies do.
So true. I have cancer. A PET scan, the only scan that shows the kind of tumor I have, was denied because I could just have a CT scan. .then they denied the CT scan without contrast, because they felt I should have it with contrast, despite the repeated need for CT scans, and a recent episode with kidney failure due to sepsis. They literally then denied the CT scan with and without contrast, because it was cheaper to do it without contrast. All for my oncologist. Then the surgeon comes along, orders the CT scan with and without contrast, and the same damn insurance company approved it without a problem. But, I still can't have the PET scan, because, although it's the *only* test that is going to show any additional tumors in my body, with this form of cancer that is known to metastasize, it is, in their estimation, unnecessary.
@@TiptonMama That's so horrible I wish you the best no one should have to go through that.

Truly, we need to rethink how we live our lives... Yeah, it's a great ideal to travel thousands of miles, or even just across town, to see family, friends for that special dinner... but we also drive thousands of miles a year, a mile at a time, for EVERYTHING... Gas prices hit my limit back in 2004 at $1.92/gal, and I stopped driving, set myself up to be able to take the bus or walk, simply because I couldn't afford to do otherwise... Today, the news is a price increase above $6, but where are ll the tears we cried back in 1974 when it jumped from $0.39 to $0.53? We just kept paying, "What the Market will bear."... Whatever we're willing to pay, they're willing to charge, because... yeah.
It needs to be the goal of society in general to make it to where everyone can make these types of decisions. In the US, and increasingly around the world, governments are building cities around the idea that cars are essential. We have to start designing cities around people and make this type of living easily available to all. We have to force the oil, energy, logistics, transportation, automobile, finance and every other industry and politico that is subsidized by our suffering and societal failure to make the right decision or cease to exist.
After graduating High School in northern Illinois in 1972, when my boyfriend and I set-off on an adventure, driving to Colorado, we intentionally memorized the gasoline price when we filled-up upon our departure. It was 28 cents/gallon. Corresponding levels of relative pricing prevailed throughout the American economy of that time. Compare that to what we're dealing with today.
A friend of mine worked in their Corporate office in SF in the early 90's. Her job was to deliver faxes that came in...Some of the faxes conveyed oil spills happening in various parts of the world and oceans...Those faxes came in several times a day and every day...Not good ecco news by any standard...One can only imagine how many spills and disasters have happened all these years without anyone knowing.

I agree this should be shown during the Superbowl. So who is going to start the organization and get a gofundme type site to raise the $$$$$$$. First thing is to get a contract from whoever handles the advertising that they will accept the ad if paid by a specific time. Good luck with that as those ad contracts are controlled by whatever major broadcasting Co. has the overall contract. Like NBC is going to air anything like this. NOT. But the good news is that we all can make this go viral for free on the internet and we could also get it on TV etc. with far less cost than 2 min. on the Superbowl.
Let's say this does get ad time for the Superbowl, do you think this will somehow make people believe Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth? All these elites tell you there is a climate crisis and all of a sudden Chicken Little is running around saying "The sky is falling, the sky is falling" Yet the very same elites take their private jets everywhere they go, they're far too important to fly on a commercial airliner and abide by the same rules they set for you and I! So is Greta Thundberg, she is now a puppet/prop for the elites trying to shame adults with her rhetoric. If she was my daughter I would've put a bar of Irish Spring in her pie hole then gave her a good spanking after the way she spoke the one year telling the adults "How dare You!?!?"

Absolutely genius… it speaks to the broader dishonesty of many corporates and their advertising lies.
Im former Oil&Gas inspector from independent service provider, in polanad i got contact witch all of our companies , im touched its so true. First time in public space my branch said the true.
Chevron, in an interview with NPR, answered the question, why have gas prices gone up 70 cents in one week, with this statement, "We do not have to divulge any information on the inner workings of our company."
Why are you complaining? If you really cared about global warming, you'd want gas prices to be high, to discourage consumption.
Me, so surprised when a capitalist does capitalist things
You’re really on to something with this. Keep up the amazing work!

@Rheya Molloy have you seen the machinery used to mine those lithium ion batteries?? Giant diesel equipment? Or the kids dying in holes for rare metals used in the batteries.. your EVs run on the blood of those children. How many barrels of oil do you think it takes to produce a brand new Tesla? Vs buying a used car and get junk yard parts to keep it on the road? The real "green" people are just regular people that go to scrapyards to find what they need from otherwise totalled cars to keep theirs on the road. But hey. Virtue signaling with your electric piece of garbage is just easier.

A fitting retort to the Fossil Fuel Industry's target smear campaign against renwwables and electric vehicles.
We could never run the entire country on renewables and electric vehicles. We're always going to need coal and petroleum and Is much rather have our people doing this as opposed to China who doesn't give a rats ass about any climate. They paint the dead grass green same with trees and then they staple leaves in the dead trees! President Xi also has workers painting the mountains green to give the appearance that they abide by the set standards and they actually give a fuck!
I'd much rather have the work done in the USA by Americans so our citizens can profit while working in a more conscientious industry compared to China.
I can't be arsed with renewables. Give me gas or oil everytime. Actually refined coal is great to heat the house with. I'll have that too

I agree this should be shown during the Superbowl. So who is going to start the organization and get a gofundme type site to raise the $$$$$$$. First thing is to get a contract from whoever handles the advertising that they will accept the ad if paid by a specific time. Good luck with that as those ad contracts are controlled by whatever major broadcasting Co. has the overall contract. Like NBC is going to air anything like this. NOT. But the good news is that we all can make this go viral for free on the internet and we could also get it on TV etc. with far less cost than 2 min. on the Superbowl.
Let's say this does get ad time for the Superbowl, do you think this will somehow make people believe Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth?
All these elites tell you there is a climate crisis and all of a sudden Chicken Little is running around saying "The sky is falling, the sky is falling" Yet the very same elites take their private jets everywhere they go, they're far too important to fly on a commercial airliner and abide by the same rules they set for you and I! So is Greta Thundberg, she is now a puppet/prop for the elites trying to shame adults with her rhetoric.
