I didn't know this crap was still going on

The AG for the District of Columbia and the AG for Minnesota (the execrable Keith Ellison) have filed suit against various oil companies for concealing the "fact" that fossil fuels are bad for you.

So, you fellows tool around in old Stanley Steamers, do you? If not, why shouldn't we the people sue you bozos for contributing to the fossil fuels problem? I mean, a big part of the problem is emissions, right?

I thought the fad of state AGs suing oil companies had died down - or, more precisely, that their suits had been repeatedly thrown out of court. I'm thinking George Soros must have shorted oil stocks and he's looking for a quick profit.

Sounds like a variation on lawfare, as practiced by donks. Our State AG files lawsuits at the drop of a hat -- Trump is one of his favorite targets. They are pandering to their base by any means possible.

Not coincidentally, whenever Sideshow Bob (as our AG is unaffectionally known) files a lawsuit, he spams the donk voting base with announcements that have links to his campaign fund.

In the Woke Age, they figure there's no reason to bother hiding their fraud.

It's just another shakedown, hoping for a settlement from the oil companies to keep from having to litigate for months or years. It's also a gift for chosen law firms who are donors.
