HSBC net zero goal delayed 20 years, as CEO offered 600% bonus. Bankers already live on another planet and are willing to let the earth burn to fuel their lust for profits. Shareholders don't care, customers have no representation on boards, regulators and govts let them wreak havoc.

It is essential that every Jew DENOUNCE JD Vance and Musk praising the AfD German far right party. As a third generation survivor of the Holocaust, I am absolutely SICKENED!
