Also I've said this before but advertising is an industry that should be considered as pointless and harmful as fossil fuels.

United Healthcare getting sued by its investors, because it didn't warn them that the CEO getting murdered (by the tendrils of their unmitigated greed) was going to lead to them approving more claims (for covered services that they had no right to deny) is a cartoonish example of exactly why their CEO got murdered.

Their argument is essentially "You promised us a specific profit margin that is not possible to achieve under this increased public scrutiny of your unethical practices. We only agreed to invest because of those unethical practices. So we demand compensation because you didn't warn us that you'd be behaving more ethically"

And idk. Satire isn't just dead. We've pissed on its corpse and now it's dissolving in lye.

*Posting such visually arresting pics as this one without recognizing the artist who created them feels too much like generative AI being force-fed original works and taught to cannibalize. Hence, the nonsensical photo credit. I couldn't find a single source identifying the photographer, just the copyright-holder.

If you know who took this, please put me out of my misery & comment thanks!

"In a study published in the journal Nature, researchers at Dartmouth College used peer-reviewed methods to link pollution from 111 major fossil fuel companies to rising global temperatures and climate-related damages over a period of three decades.

As CBS News detailed, the study found that about a third of the total $28 trillion in damages could be traced to just five companies: Saudi Aramco ($2.05 trillion); Gazprom ($2 trillion); Chevron ($1.98 trillion); ExxonMobil ($1.91 trillion); and BP ($1.45 trillion).

Researchers used computer simulations to model how the planet's temperature would have changed without pollution from each company, using emissions figures from the Carbon Majors database."

I'd give anything to know which unworthy billionaires took these home.
