Steal from the Rich Earth and feed the piss-poor Billionaire Businessmen.
Define a world order that helps seamless execution of such a noble and classy act.
The poor billionaire businessmen in turn feed toxins to the poorest of the poor by means of anything and everything they sell to the unsuspecting 'consumers' of global deceit.
'You afraid of falling ill? We offer you medical cover and support. We are here to Save and Serve YOU!' goes their taglines.
The ladle can only get that much that is in the pot right?
Well, the pot is near empty. Even worse, it is about to break / go up in smokes / whatever.
A young generation has woken up to the horrors of this realization and is fighting for a "Robinhood free" world where they and their young ones can breathe easy and live with kindness.
Trouble is, they are outnumbered quite easily by their own ilk; the same young gen that is fighting in out streets and in the UN forums for a better tomorrow is the same young gen that has been targeted for the largest dumping of goods and services by the very Robin hoods they fight against.
Environmentally sustainable development / Ecologically sensible development / Climate action / Carbon reduction / and so on - the jargons sound bites spread at a rate directly proportional to our interest in them, mean nothing if we don't bring in the oldest stake holder and the most generous investor who has received only negative return on investment so far but still seems to be generous barring a rare earthquake reaction there, a tsunami here, a drought here and there. Only, SHE seems to have woken up lately, jolted by the endless ruthless mindless exploitations of her capital by any and sundry in the last thirty odd years. We are beginning to experience HER wrath everywhere in the form of a virus that seems to be intent on helping her cause and that too for a rapid retribution.
The Robinhoods are smart, ain't they? So they start talking about environmentally sustainable investment, development, blah blah blah and their governments too through policy talks to facilitate the same.
Here is a poser:
Can any government mandate use of a certain high percentage of recycled materials by existing corporations to bring in raw material for their newer products / services Here and Now?
The plans for carbon reduction, the temperature goal and other teeny weeny offerings won't replenish the bleeding coffers of the biggest investor of ALL our business entities like what recycling can do. SHE is bleeding and needs blood transfusion pronto, the blood all these entities have been suckling to continue writing their extraordinary growth stories.
Time for us to become donors, for a 'Change'.
