And it would go right into the red if it was charged for the environmental and social damage it caused. Money is fake, I get it, but accountability doesn't have to be.
proof we are being taken for fools.
@zleap but we can take the money back. Past problems are fixed every day.
@drdrowland There is going to be a point (just look at all these strikes) where people just say enough is enough. and snap, when that happens hopefully the corporate would will feel the wrath of everyone at the same time.
@zleap I don't need to encourage society to revolt. It's doing that for itself already. I hope some time in my lifetime the oil companies pay for the damage they cause and I'm convinced we'd have progressed as a technological society more quickly if they had been forced to do so the whole time.
They suppressed their research on climate change for 40 years, I just feel people will eventually snap,. we had riots in 2011, i don't condone that, but it is inevitable something could happen.
@zleap
People use energy. Its counter-intuitive but the way to make oil companies pay is by not demanding energy from them then they start to lose.
Making ones community less car dependent, eg. more smaller corner shops.
Less weapons. Less military.
Strike out products that waste fuel, eg. buy organic and local.
One of the most important thing we can all do is have one less child. Nothing #divests from unethical practices better. One less child = 500 cars gone if memory serves.
