Shell made 40 billion in profits in 2022. 100 million is one quarter of one percent of that. That’s what they couldn’t spare to even look like they were trying to help the environment. The things that should be done to these executives would probably get me banned from Lemmy if I said. Fuck these villainous asshats with broken glass.
Funny you say that. I was banned from Reddit for suggesting that suicidal people should take oil-ceos with them instead of wasting their death. Of course I learned my lesson and won't do that again.
Sorry, all we have is school shooters.
don't forget crazy old guys at public venues!
While a nice thought I guess, it would change nothing as they would just hire the next greedy guy in line and on and on it goes.
The only solution is to modify the economics so it becomes more valuable to store the oil in the ground.
Public oil companies are about 5% of production.
What's your plan against, say, Aramco?
i dunno, i'm not encouraging anyone to take to arms, but it's exactly the kind of shit that happened a lot in the end of the 1800's, beginning of the 1900's. Anarchists directly attacking high-ups with terrorist attacks, ignorant to the working class people, is arguably one of the reasons why for example the general populace got the right to vote, the christian churches started trying to come up with alternatives to socialism/anarchism (rerum novarum) and why high-ups like bismark introduced ideas like pension, krankenkasse etc. I don't understand the general aimlessness of all the mass shootings in the USA. "i wanna make a point instead of going out silently on my own, but the only people i can take with me are my peers, no higher ups"?
TL;DR greedy guys do get scared if their jobs become too dangerous in an destabilized society.
