There's a link in there about their new CEO saying that cutting their oil and gas production would be detrimental to society. He claims to care about people by saying "If we cut production prices will go up and poor countries won't be able to compete and have enough money to get their gas an oil!" when he really means "if we cut production we won't make as much money!".

You can tell how much he cares about poor countries and how much they can afford because he only has a salary in the millions /s

Ah yes, CEO income inelasticity. The most passive aggressive threat of financial violence there is.
