The U.N. Secretary-General Has Criticized the 'Grotesque Greed' of Oil Companies
He urged all governments to tax these excessive profits “and use the funds to support the most vulnerable people through these difficult times.” Guterres told reporters that “we are seeing excessive, scandalous profits of the oil and gas industry in a moment in which all of us are losing money” because of inflation around 7-8%. And “nothing will be more popular than to tax the excessive profits … and to distribute that money to the most vulnerable families,” he said.
Guterres said speculators and obstacles to getting grain and fertilizers to global markets during the Ukraine war sent food prices soaring. But since negotiations on the grain deal “gained traction,” he said, there has been “a significant fall” and today prices of most foodstuffs and fertilizers are more or less at their pre-war prices.
Falling prices are “good news,” Grynspan said, but they have been high for too long and since June forecasts for extreme poverty have risen by 71 million people and forecasts for food insecurity by 47 million.

What has Guterres ever actually achieved though. I mean he makes the odd shallow statement and that’s it.
我说林语堂有问题的翻译 我会怎样翻译呢 If one finds one character remains unknown to him, it adds some poetic innovation to the lines If one finds one stone that he can't recognize It adds imaginary power to the picture
美国朋友 千万不要客气 有问题尽管提
he lies, the goverments love high profits due to inflation as they get more $ on taxes and pay less in their debt.
美国不是一直在向全球输出流通性，割全球的韭菜么？当然也包括世界上最不发达国家的民众。去年从阿富汗撤军后，美国扣押着阿富汗的外汇，那些外汇是阿富汗新政府用来解决凛冽寒冬中饥寒交迫的阿富汗民众温饱的钱，阿民众在寒冬中瑟瑟发抖，美国都能雪上加霜，还有脸在全球呼吁人权？
Isn’t that exactly what he did as Portuguese Prime Minister? Get out of here you hypocrite
