Branson should take the lead and ground all his planes...for the environment. (snark)
Before Copernicus, 97 percent of "learned scholars" believed that the Earth revolved around the Sun. I guess that was compelling then too.
Branson has taken to his blog to say that businesses.
Ya think
Simple enough. These spoiled billionaires are working against America and Americans, while profiting immensely from them.
Therefore, when conservatives control congress and the White House, these billionaires need to be put in their place.
Most of them are not billionaires because they have billions of dollars, but because they have the equivalent in stock. If their stock drops, they stop being billionaires.
And they stop being pestiferous to America and Americans.
Right now, their stock is sky high in many cases solely because it is propped up by the US government. Take away those props, and overnight, these billionaires are selling pencils on street corners.
Time for the joy ride of these scoundrels to end.
Right. A company that builds most of its products in China professing it cares more about the environment than making a profit.
So when Apple decided that it didn’t want to comply with EPA rules and moved their manufacturing to China, they were only concerned with what? Or when they thumbed their noses at minimum wage laws and hired Chinese workers at a fraction of the cost of an American worker they were just doing what? And how ‘bout when they shielded their billions in foreign banks to avoid taxes in the USA? All this at the same time that they were sending massive amounts of money to politicians who devised the very rules that they have so assiduously avoided. We have several vulgarities for people like that.
No, I won’t get out of your way, Dick. You aren’t my boss, so F off, son.
Branson is old.
Does it help with their taxes? Payoffs?
These people are not stupid. Follow the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Richard and Tim have come out as ACC Nazis....who knew?
these dopes would insist that BELIEF in Climate Change is..the mark of the beast..
either wear it or be de personed
I don’t have any use for this company’s stock or products.
Apple can take its business and its Glowbull Warming and shove it.
And Rush can get turned off when he talks about these idiots too.
ya think these guys are doing this for Obama ?
If Climate Change Hoax Deniers don't want my money, I'll be more than happy to not give it to them.
If they can come up with an efficient, less stinky, and cost effective means of energy use and production, fine. Just don’t assume it will make a hoots worth of difference to the climate, or that any other energy using nation will cooperate.
I suspect Cook is catching LOTS of flack internally and Branson is trying to help.
CEO’s who are/were NOT liked internally because of their non-work related opinions:
Craig Barrett - Intel
Larry Ellison - Oracle
Scott McNealy - Sun Microsystem
Philippe Kahn - Borland Software
Carly Fiorina - HP
John Scully - Apple
All these yahoo’s except Ellison have had their heads handed to them for NOT doing their job.
Cook is going to get it in within 3 years.
I bet if Branson’s bottom line got seriously hurt, he would change his stance, but the problem is how to do that in the current environment and with too many governments in the hands of Socialists and Gaia worshipers.
LOL! I guess Virgin will shutting down ops by the end of the week.

Richard Branson owns an airline, he travels all over the world. His “carbon footprint” makes him Bigfoot.
