The issue is they only care about short term profits. They don’t care about the negative impacts because it doesn’t actually affect them. They also fully believe they have a captive market in that people are so conditioned to it that they won’t go searching for alternatives so long as their service, regardless of how shit it is, remains the most convenient and habitual.
And, if shit does hit the fan, they’ve already made off with a king’s ransom and will just pivot their ventures after taking their golden parachute to leave some poor schmuck holding the bag.
They don’t care about the negative impacts because it doesn’t actually affect them.
How odd.
Wealth has a tremendous capacity to insulate, but nothing is unlimited.
Whose kids could be rich enough to live as safely or comfortably in a world that regresses/declines beyond various tipping points? (I also want their safety & comfort, we would all win)
See, that is an indirect consequence, not a direct consequence. There are degrees of separation in the logic from A event to Z outcome that they attribute to other causes which they believe they can mitigate by throwing money at it.
Or they are narcissistic and self obsessed people who literally don’t care about their kids. Their kids aren’t them, so they don’t care if they will have it worse. They will be dead before shit hits the fan.

Phrased another way, executives might come and go, but their short term profits are forever held in stocks, bonds, and real estate assets.
