    They have already done that, that’s how capitalism works. No course of action can get back from corps those trillions in profits they made for their shareholders, or make them reverse the damages an order of magnitude bigger than that.

    I know it’s technically a usable defense, but how often is the Act of God defense actually ruled? From what I understand, it rarely works, and you’d have a better chance with any other defense. Has it been successfully used recently?

    Some people believe that God writes destiny, meaning that industrialization is an act of God

    Its the right of corporations, as people, to be able to believe what they choose without being discriminated against

      If God made people in his image and people are also corporations, then that means God is a corporation?

        Omg, and since corps are legally people god is just some dude? Not a stranger on the bus, but a polluter on a private plane?

        So not like bring out the 9" nails kind, the oil megacorp shareholder megarich kind.

        So eat the rich is just a religious ceremony we must follow.

        Ok, sounds like a (gods) plan.

          Well Jesus said it is easier for a camel to pass through an eye of a needle than a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. Does that mean God can’t enter heaven? Maybe they can start selling indulgences again.

      Good lord. Imagine a perfect being this perpetually angry over their own creation against the grand backdrop of the universe.

      The system works not only as planned, but as excruciatingly maintained - it takes so much work to keep this clusterfuck alive at peak status quo of financial gains & wealth accumulation.

    Oh don’t worry. They believe it’s man made, just not in the way you want.

    This is true if we ignore monotheism and go with one of the -isms where humanity is god.
