Highly unusual list includes 533 businesses and trade organisations

Donald Trump has drawn up a scorecard for corporate America, ranking companies based on their loyalty to his administration.

The highly unusual list ranks 533 businesses and trade organisations based on their efforts to champion the US president’s “one big beautiful bill”, according to reports.

Companies that have fared well deployed a variety of tactics – often trumpeting the benefits of an individual policy, such as Uber’s celebration of Mr Trump’s “no tax on tips” proposal.

The scorecard, which Axios said will aid decision-making on corporate requests, comes as part of Mr Trump’s “America First” agenda and protectionist policies.

    All these things had to have happened in the mid 90s at the latest

    Wrong, If you are correct, though, the only correct way to proceed is to completely exterminate all human life on the planet, since we are obviously the problem.

    What we are long past is maintaining the current level of consumption the western world does, and maintain current climate.

    Note, the only ones reducing consumption and pollution of the working class. Jeff Bezos still dumps tons of carbon into the air needlessly, just to go golfing.

      Didn’t you pay attention? Even if we stopped all pollution today, it’s too late. The temperatures will keep increasing. Up to 7 degrees at least. The only thing that can save this current epoch is humanity. But it will need extreme measures. And we’ll need them yesterday.

      Edit: Yes, the Climate Crisis May Wipe out Six Billion People

        I didn’t say just stop all pollution. We can reforest, and repair the damage we did.

        The only thing that can save this current epoch is humanity.

        If this is the case, then your original premise is false, that there’s nothing to be done.

        But it will need extreme measures. And we’ll need them yesterday.

        Yes, extreme measures like abolishing capitalism, reducing our consumption models, and repairing the damage we’ve done.
