4. they're ALL creative capitalist who care nothing except greatest good for the greatest number
gosh, haven't you seen their ads? chevron's "people do" ad is one that always sticks in my craw

capitalism is not compatible w. ending poverty because, to work, capitalism has to play on the worker's fear of poverty

if the only man who gets to be creative is bill gates, fuck him, no offense to mr. gates who is no doubt a very nice but also a very naive individual

we could end poverty tomorrow by taking ownership of the oil industry and distributing any profits to the people in the form of health care and other benefits

instead we prefer the game of capitalism which makes a few billionaires and a billion living without even so much as a glass of clean water

go to africa for yourself and then ask yourself straight-faced if all the aid and nice words are helping anything but white wash a terrible inequality
