      We wouldn’t want to make the world better, there isn’t anything in it for the shareholders.

        Self described most intelligent species.

        Maybe the rare few who actually drag this suicidal group-think and cowed species kicking and screaming into the future very seldomly. Yet the masses will take credit for their efforts the same way a billionaire takes credit for what the workers do simply because they own the fruits of their labor.

          They only care about short term growth. They don’t care about if the growth is unsustainable in the long term.

          This year’s numbers must be better than last year’s numbers.

        I’m more than sure that climate change will negatively impact the economy.

        So I’d just say that there is something for shareholders (not to mention investment opportunities in green technologies), it’s just that some people greedy shits who don’t think about what happens in future.
