But they are the messengers, yet cant be bothered with any of this themselves, the only suggestions they ever have are what the rest of us can do to offset their life styles. Next Davos meeting online? Haha, oh you (adjusts monocle)... practice what you preach. Or you can pretend some investor or politician somewhere doesnt rub elbows directly or indirectly with the companies that do the shit in the article. They control everything on the planet, business and politics, stuff like this article is just what comes to light. It could be fixed with a fucking phone call, but they might have to pay some overtime, which hits the bottom line, and they wont lose a nickel to back up their bullshit because their 14th bathroom needs a new gold shitter and those things are expensive. Its more cost effective for me to chip my tooth on a metal straw or stop eating altogether.

The only rich rich person I can think of that actively advocates for policies combatting climate change, and isn't a "celebrity" type of rich person (e.g. footballer or actor/musician) is Bill Gates. Most other rich rich people, à la Arnault, Musk, Bezos flat out don't care and don't pretend they do. They spend their billions on whatever tickles their fancy, consequences be damned. As to why I exclude celebrities, it's because PR and their brand is a big part of what they are.
