    Yeah, the vast majority of human kind would gladly own a multi billion dollar company even if that company were causing climate change.

      I would gladly own one, I would also gladly pivot it towards not causing climate change.

      Only problem is owning one in the first place; most are “publicly owned” by a bunch of investors who themselves are investment funds owned by some other bunch of investors like those putting their money in 401k plans.

      It’s a nice tangle of cross-ownerships that ends up hurting the actual owners without them having any power to change anything.
