    "But what if we try to stop destroying the planet and someone else keeps making more profits by continuing to do so?! How is that fair on our shareholders?

    How are we supposed to keep increasing our revenue under those conditions? I don’t think you are thinking about what’s really important here"

      I hate that this is basically accurate and I also hate that “but Tommy over there isn’t yet forced to do his homework so I’m not doing mine” is a legally winning argument.

    Well, at this point I’m just rooting for nature to take its course, which it will.

      The first amendment allows for free speech the second amendment affords the citizenry the right to bear arms to protect against tyranny. The corpocracy is tyranny.

    Fucking oil companies are literally going to willfully kill us all in the name of profit if Trump doesn’t beat them to it.

        Don’t be too modest, we will take countless species with us. Some are already relegated to museams due to nothing but human interference. Yes the giant rock will persist but we will disturb enough life to seriously jeopardize the future of many if not most forms of life.

          Maybe our bones will create a new layer in the Earth that’ll be covered over and the earths ecosystem will degenerate and eventually recreate itself billions of years later, leaving a future race of newly evolved, curious species to crawl out of the ensuing muck to find in us a great energy source trapped underground and drill it to the surface for use.

            Unironically probably something like that. Nature will take what we give it and keep going best it can, the ashes of the old world will fertilize the new one, and it wouldn’t be the first time nature on this planet has done something like that.

      There’s no saving our species, but evidently there’s no reason to. I just hope we go before we can take much more down with us.
