Same, I spent a good ten minutes trying to figure out what malevolent ulterior motive they could have for doing this.
Maybe someone has realised that the end of the world would be bad for corporate profits?
Yeah but that’s long-term profits and they don’t really care about long-term profits. Their mindset is as long as they can make record profits this year, it doesn’t really matter if everyone dies next year, that’s next year’s problem. Everyone is expendable including their future selves.
It requires a distinct lack of imagination to be a capitalist.
