So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

People are dying in this horrific war. On this Friday's @thefairfightpod.bsky.social live, me and @maxmmiller.bsky.social will ask:

Who is getting *rich*?

This is the second largest LNG company in the US. This company's CEO was also at that oil and gas exec dinner at Mar-a-Lago where Trump asked for $1 billion. They gave $1 million to the inauguration.

This is the largest liquid natural gas company in the US.

It's CEO was at the Mar-a-Lago fundraiser where candidate Trump asked oil & gas execs for $1 billion. They gave $250K to a Trump-affiliated PAC in 2024.

Notice anything?

River or sankey diagram showing the allocation of profits from global oil and gas companies to quantiles of the US wealth size distribution via financial system intermediaries, such as asset managers, and categories of ultimate beneficiaries, such as business owners, pension funds and shareholders in listed companies. The scale is hundreds of billions of US dollars, and ultimately 50.4% of profits reaching the US personal wealth distribution go to the richest 1% of households.

We all know the 2022 energy price shock fueled the cost of living crisis. It also caused a profit bonanza for the very rich. We show the US reaped the largest profits ($377bn) of any country. 50% went to the richest 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A🧡 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Fossil fuel stocks are exploding in response to the war on Iran.

Who stands to benefit? The richest of the rich.

Who stands to lose? All of us who have to pay higher prices for energy and a new round of sellers' inflation.
