We’re all shareholders by a certain age. Do you contribute to a 401k? If so, you’re a shareholder. The CEOs and corporate board members use shareholder *demands" as a convenient excuse to justify their own sociopathic insatiable need for more money they’ll never spend.

Reminds me of that saying choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it. Their incentive is to do the job just good enough and with the least amount of effort. The shareholders incentive here is make money. So we need to make Fossil fuel business illegal. The shareholders still want to make money. They’ll find an alternative way to do so. OH HEY LOOK! No longer reliant on fossil fuels?
