    Who’s the upper right guy? Looks familiar but I’ve already forgotten who he is/was

    I’m no shaman, but I suspect if we sacrifice enough CEOs, Mother Earth will ease up on the climate change.

      Orcas have been attacking and sinking yachts. Apparently, CEO Marcus Hale (crypto bro) was sailing off the coast of Portugal last October when his yacht was attacked by orcas. He drowned. Here’s the only article I can find that’s not a video or twitter post: https://www.bitrue.com/blog/marcus-hale-crypto-ceo-death

      I can’t find a more reputable link, so can’t vouch for the veracity of this. The orcas have been revolting for a few years, though.

          Same. If arrogant bastards were doing donuts in my garden, keeping me up at all hours, throwing their rubbish everywhere, and scaring away my food, I’d start sabotaging them, too.

          Orcas have yet to kill anyone on purpose, and this dipshit was likely collateral damage to them, but if they literally start eating people I’d say they deserve it. Team Orca.

            *Wild orcas are not known to have killed a human on purpose. Captive orcas seem to have killed on purpose.

              You’re right, and who can blame them. We’ve treated them poorly.

              (I was thinking about one instance, but there have been several, you’re right.)

      There’s only 52 weeks in a year

      Whilst a lot of CEOs are either not evil, or maybe are just inconsequential (like the CEO of some random startup with 4 employees creating a new app that’s like Tinder but for whatever else), there’s thousands whose companies are ruining our society and planet.

      Though if one were to fall a week, that would maybe at least drive some fear into the others.

          Oh yeah, I was gonna mention that, didn’t want to seem like I’m actually advocating for anything though. Unfortunate as it is, I may still have to do business travel to the US at some point and while I’m white enough to hopefully be safe, I wouldn’t want them to think I’m planning on taking any action on my political opinions.
