The first effects could be witnessed thirty years ago. But it's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. That's why the fossil fuel industry has moved the goal posts and introduced the "climate change is of all times, it's not caused by us" talking point, as demonstrated by Victor. But Victor is behind the times, the new one is "yes, we caused it but it's not a big deal".

I disagree that it is bad design. It's cheap and I also find it ugly, but it does get the job done just fine.

If you need any proof that pyramid schemes will never go away, just look at the number of downvotes.

I don't want to link to them because fuck them, though the current top comment contains a link to that site.

The interesting thing is that you get this error message on /us while when you remove it, you get redirected to /global and there is no such message. They went out of their way to collect the data of US citizens while still complying with the GDPR for other users.

Thanks for the clarification.

The last sentence of the article however, shows why that's not much of a consolation:

In other words, it is activist hedge funds and modern executive compensation practices — not corporate law — that drive so many of today’s public companies to myopically focus on short-term earnings; cut back on investment and innovation; mistreat their employees, customers and communities; and indulge in reckless, irresponsible and environmentally destructive behaviors.
