Slaps on the wrists like this won't deter these evil assholes. Slapping them with a 50% of their income fine is what will. Like, you do it twice and you're bankrupt, mother fucker.
Throw Buffett and the board into prison
Volcano, we can offer the rich back to the earth.
Do we truly think the board would have wanted the company to keep power on against the request of the govt/fire services?
Is there any proof of that, if so that's very concerning and I'd agree
But I don't see any evidence that the shareholders held some kind of vote and decided to continue on, or had some rule on the books about not complying with emergency services
Like sue the company for sure, it's the fault of the company, but not necessarily the individual investors. They will inherently lose money if you sue the company anyway as their stock will depreciate and they should then exert pressure to make sure this kind of situation can't happen in future
Oh I don't care about proof. Rich assholes should just be thrown in prison on principle.
Ah I see you're a perfectly rational individual with a perfectly sane world view. Carry on
What's the point of a board if it's not held responsible? Anyone eith over 100M is our enemy and we don't need mental gymnastics.
Do you think investors make decisions in real time? Like do you think the fire services called each member of the board and asked for a vote? I swear some of you guys have never considered any part of the system you supposedly want to dismantle
I think it would also be healthier if you didn't consider the wealthy as inherently your enemy. Try to consider the actions taken by these people as individuals, otherwise you truly will never get anywhere as any outside person will rightly look at you like a lunatic
Tldr. Eat the rich and their adult children
Yes this will bring people over to your cause surely. Jesus christ this site sometimes I swear
$1 billion is 1% of Berkshire Hathaway's $96.22 billion net profit in 2023.
The median US household income was $74,580 in 2022. 1% of that would be $746.
Make of this what you will
