Scared me that they are cutting back because of money and a recession.

Ends up it’s to cut back on our carbon footprint.

I am a specialist in cancer diagnostics. In person visits are extremely more impactful but that damn Co2. I still can travel but it’s highly scrutinized.

You probably work with assholes like BamaAtl who begged for it.

They know restricting travel restricts our freedom, turns us more into digital electronic dependent people, and the left controls almost all that info we see…. There’s a reason the don’t wants us mobile, and a reason they are killing carbon transportation, and it isn’t about global warming

Companies having carbon footprint targets impacts so many different things. My regional meeting is cancelled along with other important meetings that help to educate the team on educating pathologists etc.

It will have a ripple effect in many ways.

It’ll cost your company a shitload in the long run, provided all the competition doesn’t fall in line, which they probably will.

You should put a group of high flyers in your industry together and start a new competitor that worries more about sales and customer service than the retarded notion of a carbon footprint. You’d either get filthy rich or bring the industry back to rationality.

Big picture:

Less help for people = more people die = lower carbon footprint

You'll figure it out

So the company you work for did a cost benefit analysis and decided that?

And that choice will help their bottom line?

Sounds like you don't agree with capitalism.

Rest assured, it’s because travel costs have gone up 40% in the last 8 months.

So it begins.


They want people thinking about this 24/7. Work and at home. The great unwashed will make cutbacks while the elites continue to fly internationally for conferences and vacations, own multiple houses, and live as hypocrites.

If you haven’t read up on ESG, please do it.

It’s the early version of the social credit system but applied to businesses and they are already doing it. Only a mater of time before it trickles down to us

Luckily, I limited my work to time traveling +/- 100 years. The hydroponic baws in 2105 are still laughing their asses off about the muh carbon footprint hysterics.

Don't worry. The squirrels survived the fallout, as did hot sauce (or at least their version of it- so everything tastes like hot wings, sorta).

You can't have a burger, though, except when I time-travel back to 1986 with an anti-thermobaric ice chest and bring back a couple tubes of ground chuck and/or a brisket, maybe.

This is not what is going on here. This is the product of what ESG scores have done to Corporate America.

ETA: I highly recommend everyone read this article. It'll help you understand why companies are acting the way they are.

Leftists Use Lawfare to Force Companies to Go Woke or Go Broke

The big picture is that ESG scores force companies to go against their fiduciary duties because access to capital drives decision making instead of profit.
