Motherfuckers tried to get away from responsibility for their own systems?

Air Canada, disgusting.

From what I understand, this is a continually escalating situation taking the planet well past habitability. We've tumbled over tipping point.

Funny observations now will turn into food and water scarcity later. The 1% will be high and dry (at least while they can grow food without an ecosystem), while the rest of us enjoy unimaginable human suffering on a massive scale.

There are many to blame, but we have to start executing somewhere, might as well be here:

If these fuckers touch notepad I'll riot.

Actually that's not true, I'll just be quietly annoyed.

There are many different reasons than to pursue continually escalating profits.

Those top level folks are sometimes "incentived" by bottom line targets and other end targets. So sure, you do get greedy people inside private companies.

I don't think shareholders driving for infinite profit is easily disregarded.

The thing is that this guy is not the head of a public company where shareholders demand massive and continually growing profits. So he acts in the interests of the consumer, the customer, the gamer. But if this was a public company, shareholders would buy shares and then demand he do something to grow that share price, so they can sell the shares later for profit.

When that happens we see that CEOs do everything they can to maximize profits, like promising release dates in earnings calls.

The difference between private and public companies is the single biggest threat to us all because as soon as the company acts in the exclusive interest of profit, everything else gets fucked. And most do.

That means employees, customers, everyone. Only the 1% benefit from the gutting of everyone else.

Myself and a multitude of others grow more and more openly hostile and polarized to this typical loud American attitude every day. Contributions like this are one small reason why, and the momentum isn't slowing down. Your response isn't thoughtful reflection, it's just loud chewing.

The full list of reasons I comment on your trash is too complex to get into now so your request for me to not speak is denied and it would be a waste of time to try explain it to you.

Go ahead and prove me wrong with something other than venomous vitriol, anything beyond ad hominem?

I'm so bored of hearing about their self inflicted problems, the same ones over and over again.

At this point I don't care anymore about how many of their own children they kill. It's like my dramatic cousin phoning me and for the 50th time whining about her problems, that she makes, but is incapable of fixing.
