    They don’t care about being bad or good. They just care about money. Change what makes money and they change. There is no resolve. Along with changes happening I listed before, one big thing we need do is bring environmental cost on to the balancesheet. At the moment it’s all external costs. Move the costs of items disposal on to the up front cost. Scale it by item’s life time. Incentivize better behavior.

      money for money sake leads to evil, even if money itself is not.

      people after it above all else are evil.

          only if it makes them more money.

          if climate disaster is not enough to make them stop i doubt they ever will.

            Ah, but that lost money in the future, not making money now. They don’t really do long term. It’s money for share holders now.
