The Climate, Environment and Energy Thread

[LP]

I've apologized, personally, to people who were affected by some of the unethical things my father did... not because I felt responsible for the actions of my father, but because I was confronted with someone hurting and simply needing an acknowledgement that their hurt was legitimate.

I get that, ............... but what compensation did you offer?

There is a world of difference between apologising and it being accepted, it seems if Joe Blogs makes an apology it's accepted, but if a millionaire or billionaire offers an apology or reparation it isn't, it'll either be disingenuous, insufficient, or outright offensive!

Isn't that a worry to you, or do different rules apply based on wealth and standing? :o

If you happen to be a billionaire, is your apology only accepted along with a cheque?

Like I said, lots of freely available carbon emissions protestors, even protestors against green energy blighting the landscape, that all fade into the earth when they get a cut of the game! It's pretty demoralising, and poses some very genuine questions about the integrity of humanity.
