Sometimes it really gets to me how fully neo-liberalism has replaced the question of "good or bad" with the question of "can you pay for it?"
Not to mention the clear incentive in this particular case for companies to prefer lower populations of the animals they are pretending to be trying to protect
Yeah, when you purchase a stock that goes up in value when an animal dies, you're literally incentived to kill as many as you can to drive up the price. You literally make money every time you kill something in a scheme like this.
Economists, of course. The modern clergy has no political bias, they simply decide what the dollar value of all life on earth is worth based on a supply and demand chart.
I don't even have anything to say about this. This is too dystopian.
One of those "too on the nose" things if this were science fiction
Yeah. This would only pass in a science fiction satire. No one would take something like this seriously if it was presented with a straight face.
Someone's gonna find a way to short these by exterminating specific animals even faster.
This is how every policy involving conserving trees works, it was only a matter of time until they moved on from putting a price on getting away with destroying habitats to putting a price to getting away with killing all the animals living in those habitats
