Sadly, I think there's no incentive for doing well for the planet to get business value. Maybe when we'll run out of clean drinking water, or land, or clean air

Sadly, I think there's no incentive for doing well for the planet to get business value. Maybe when we'll run out of clean drinking water, or land, or clean air, then traditional businesses will invest in R&D and come up with ideas and products to sell you to alleviate the pain.. that's the the goal of a business. what we need is more philantropists. Jeff Bezos is not a philanthropist. Bill Gates on the other hand - more likely..
- staunch 7y agoThe goal of a business is approximately whatever the founders decide to make it. The view that there is something inherently exploitative about all corporations is just naive. Tesla is selling billions worth of cars while doing good for the planet. They have also triggered a technological revolution that will do more than any government or the UN could ever do with regulations. If Bezos successfully ushers in an era where toxic industrial work is moved to space that could do more for the planet than almost anything imaginable. And that is his goal with Blue Origin. These are the good actors. The bad actors are the Koch Brothers, coal plants, Walmart, the old car companies, etc.
