    Classic backtrack by a wholesale narcissist, Marie Antoinette wannabe, whose voicing of their unfiltered thoughts have damaged their profit outlook.

    Minerals Council of Australia chairman Andrew Michelmore - had defended him. “Employees have got used to earning the same amount of money but not putting in the same hours”

    “We destroyed economic mobility, the planet, and the social contract. Pray we don’t destroy it any further”.

    I expect no less from the oligarchy, especially a fossil fuel oligarch. Remember, these are the sociopaths who own our lives, from corporations to regulators and governments, and are accelerating the destruction of our planet.

    They are telling you what they think of the 99+%. You are not a person. You are cattle to fuel their wealth until you can be replaced or discarded for profit. You only exist to generate their wealth and fuel their excess to greater heights. Their only god is greed. They will not think twice about letting you die if it means more resources and power for themselves; many of them would choose to pull the trigger on mass murder than ever redistributing their wealth.

    Believe them when they tell you who they are.

      Marie Antoinette was way more of a sympathetic character than this asshole. At least in her case you could explain it away with her being young and sheltered.

        Also, the “let them eat cake” line was said by someone else and then falsely attributed to her after her execution.
