I’ll note that the article as originally published contains a typo; Ruth Porat is the CIO at Google, not the CEO.#

These people are genuinely evil.

b-b-but the old slogan

CEOs still haven’t learnt to keep their mouths shut because they keep getting shot!

This is what “doing no evil” under capitalism looks like.

lol what? it is a pretty well-sourced article, with the main source being remarks in a video which it helpfully links to.

it is 10h long but on youtube one can search the transcript and easily find the parts that form the basis of this article: here are Secretary Burgum’s comments and here is Porat referencing them later.

Saying “blocked” instead of just blocking and closing the tab like anyone else gives a shit about losing the privilege of having their posts graced by your eyes. Blocked.

At first I thought she meant ‘fantastic’ in its literal sense and I was optimistic. No, of course the former CFO of Morgan Stanley is a ghoul.

“Burgum, a Republican, used his speech to criticize Silicon Valley for having supported ‘the climate extremist agenda,’ which he defined as the idea that ‘a degree of temperature change in the year 2100 is the thing that we should drive every policy in America.’ Burgum added: ‘I’ve always been a little offended by that.’”

Well it’s like 3 or 4 degrees at this point, which is civilization-ending. Real, “we’re all going to die anyway” energy here. Glad we’re doing this to hallucinate the next Amazon show and not slow down the approaching catastophe or at least give poor people food or some shit. Is that a little offensive?
