Just your daily reminder that much of the power that rules the world - the immediate political power and the wealth that buys influence over that power - is in the hands of literal psychopaths who value their short-term self-interest over anything and everything else, including humanity's health and well-being.

One day there will be a memorial erected over a lifeless Earth - "Here lies the human race - billions of lives and millennia of history destroyed so that a few psychopaths could buy mansions and yachts."

It seems pretty easy in Canada.

Big oil, big grocery, big telecom, etc.

Canada is three lobbies in a trench coat.

Fossil fuel companies and their industry associations lobbied the federal government an average of five times per working day

I would be ready to punch faces if i was accosted by someone 5 times a day about their shitty self-absorbed needs

Seriously--I'd spite them for being so fucking pushy. WTF

Fossil fuel companies have been doing this since the rise of coal as a commercially available fuel.
