When even the “evil” oil executives are calling out your callous approach to humans, you know you’ve gone peak Torry
> Ben van Beurden, the outgoing boss of the oil and gas company, told an energy conference in London: “One way or another there needs to be government intervention. Protecting the poorest, that probably may then mean that governments need to tax people in this room to pay for it.
> “I think we just have to accept as a society – it can be done smartly and not so smartly. There is a discussion to be had about it but I think it’s inevitable.”
When the guy in charge of the company you’re trying to side with isn’t even siding with you, it’s probably a sign that what you’re doing is pretty fucking atrocious.
When even the enegy firms want more tax, it’s a sign the government have got it wrong.
Never thought I’d agree with a company as morally corrupt as Shell.
You know how we, the normal people, have to pay taxes depending on our income?
You do the same thing with companies profits. Especially now with the cost of life crisis, they should take the blow.
