I wonder why the EPA is being gutted. Their ability to enforce regulations stripped (potentially soon) by the partisan, Federalist Society Supreme Cunt, ah sorry I meant to say court.
So that corps like this can operate in a way that harms us all. What the folks that run these companies don't get is that we are harming the environment, yes, but also humans ARE the environment. Including them and their families! Such shortsightedness.
The blood that flows through your veins is produced by water and minerals you consume through food, food that comes from animals and plants living in these areas and areas like them, animals that eat plants full of these pollutants watered by water full of the very same.
So in a (very direct) way, when corpo cunts dump toxic output into rivers, they're dumping it right into your veins.
HUMANS ARE THE ENVIRONMENT, WE ARE NOT SEPARATE FROM IT.
So next time you hear someone joking about environmental regulations, remember they are playing games with your body.
Gee, I wonder why cancer in young persons is booming. Well, at least we have adequa healthcare, not like we're just draining peoples' life savings for harm caused by this and things like this, right. Right?
Smh.
But hey, go out and look at the beautiful algae blooms this year. Not that we have a choice.
YOUR veins, not THEIRS.
You don't get to become a CEO by remembering the human. Hate the playa, but even more so hate the game.
You're right, I'm certain that is their perspective. But I also believe they overestimate their ability to avoid the damage they are causing. Everything is interwoven.
What I see of management styles today is "make a plan". Period. End of sentence. End of matter. End of discussion. Short-term thinking is the only type of thinking allowed. Want to do more? You're fired, and replaced with someone who will be more of a "team player". Even/especially the CEO, by the Board. i.e., you are overestimating their willingness & capacity to think beyond their greed - YOU (& I/we) see that, but they ~~don't~~ won't.
