Very old, still relevant. (Actually, more relevant)

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.

The shittiest part of this is that they have the most to gain, they're just too godamn stupid to realize it.

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.

We would be so much better off without capitalism and religion.

For sure, we could all be so much more than this though.

It's a godamn shame.

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.
