For those who didn’t read, he said that student concerns over climate change were dumb because it’s not going to affect him personally, and he’s rich and they’re not, so they should just be grateful to live in the world that revolves around him and shut up. Paraphrased, but only lightly.
The students said Solomon, 61, claimed that he did more in a week to help climate change than they would ever do, pointing to his capital accumulation and position of power. He also guessed that the group — all non-male and mostly people of color — all benefited from financial aid, and therefore should feel indebted to endowment they were questioning, according to the letter.
“At one point, he laughed and told us he’d be dead in thirty years, so climate change would be our problem anyway,” the students wrote. They said Solomon indicated fossil-fuel divestment was a stupid movement and that if the students traveled to countries like China, India and Cambodia they could see how the world “really worked” before deciding if they wanted to live like that. Shortly after, in June, Solomon convened a Goldman Sachs board meeting in India.
Personally, I would like more CEOs telling people to visit China to see how they live. At least the west had the sense not to encourage this kind of thing to the Soviet Union because they realised people would either stay there or come back a communist.
What bothers me more is I AM the main character in this story called life, and that git of an NPC was coded to think he is… and because he’s an NPC, he was given everything to create further drama in MY story! /s
Sounds like a lovely guy /s

It hasn’t come to a point where they’re afraid to say that shit in public, and honestly I think that needs to change.
Basic pitchfork economics. I’d imagine this cunt is high on the list of examples to be made, if the time were to come.
The French invented guillotines for a reason. Unfortunately we’re not using them as we should be 😔
This is still too much of a caveat:
