The Koch Brothers and climate change

[TSBootyLondon]

with 42 Billion dollars in their pockets its a given that they would get bored!

[Prospero]

It isn't about boredom... it's about power Bella

[TSBootyLondon]

It was sarcasm! You would think that with that much money in their bank accounts that they would buy a golf cart and hit the holes!

Money, power, greed! Blimey that sounds like the day in the life of Bella at the moment

It isn't about boredom... it's about power Bella

With power, well, whaddya want?!?! Well, more power!
It does seem strange. But our culture, our society, our system does encourage greed and selfishness. So, it's understandable in a society that rewards greed and selfishness that people will gravitate toward greed, toward selfishness.
Ohhh, but being greedy and selfish is part of human nature. That's true. Being greedy and being selfish is part of human nature. I mean, by definition anything human beings do is human nature.
But so is kindness, concern for others, caring. That's part of human nature. So, it hinges on what the culture rewards.
If -- and it does -- the culture rewards selfishness then people will be selfish. If the culture, the society rewards kindness, generosity, sympathy, well, people will be kind and sympathetic. So, again, it all hinges on the reward system.
Human nature, human behavior is exceedingly flexible.
So, it's the reward system....
Both brothers could do a lot of good with that much money.
And, yeah, they could play endless HOLES of golf... instead of bein' assHOLES -- ha ha!
Anyway, they're serving their own interests. And their value system is pretty simple.

Harry Reid: Why The Kochs Are Dangerous For America...

[envivision]

The Koch Brothers are JOB CREATORS..... Something that all liberals FAIL to accomplish or comprehend.

Go drink your kool aid, boy. Although it might ruin your teeth, but it won't matter 'cause you are english.

[trish]

The Koch brothers are intellectual midgets and obstructionists of economic freedom. For every living wage job they ever "created" there's a dozen they terminated. They are black holes draining the nation's wealth and energy. I doubt they ever done a foot pound of work in their long lives, save lifting toasts with their Waterford crystal and shoveling caviar with their silver spoons.

Harry Reid: Why The Kochs Are Dangerous For America...

If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black !!!!!

[Ben]

The Kochs are a lethal force. But one should underscore: if it wasn't the Kochs [who, combined, are the richest person on the planet] it'd be someone else. Maybe Bill Gates would dip his toes, as it were, in the Tar Sands of Alberta.
I mean, this is the culture we live in: you merely pursue your own interests and ignore the consequences of your actions.
The Kochs are merely pursuing their rational self interest. In economics it is completely rational to pursue your own interests.
But there are costs and consequences to maintaining strict self interest.
I think we are all, collectively, ignoring what are called external costs... like global warming. We've collectively decided, because of global warming, that future generations simply have no value, they're of absolutely no importance.
This is the society we've created. Our choices will have grievous consequences on future generations.
