I mean the links I provided detail what Human rights are. Just because some places choose not to implement them doesn't mean they don't exist.

Also Human Rights can be traced back much further than Christianity, arguably 725 BC or older: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_human_rights

Human Rights do exist, and are protected at a International level: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_human_rights_law

The EU explicitly references these in their documentation: https://commission.europa.eu/document/download/7a3e9980-5fda-4760-8f25-bc5571806033_en?filename=240719_CSDD_FAQ_final.pdf

Qatar even has a committee specifically created to oversee Human rights, although it's effectiveness is debatable: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Human_Rights_Committee_(Qatar)

The EU's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, which entered into force in July, allows for fines of up to 5 percent of a company’s annual global revenue if the management fails to address adverse human rights or environmental impacts.

So basically' I don't care about human rights or the environment, I just care about profits and will extort anyone who attempts to impact the latter'. The sooner we move to renewables and away from being dependent on twats like this the better.

Good news. It's a bit grim around here. Going for a walk in the woods and there are hundreds of dead or dieing Ash trees.

I think the issue I've been grappling with is, where do we draw the line as to what is an 'acceptable' murder? Like what if another Healthcare CEO is killed, but they're violently knifed to death? Are we still celebrating then? What if they're shot, but raped first? Are we still printing t-shirts? What if they're shot, but so is their family? What if innocent passers by also get caught in the cross fire? Do we still cheer for them? What level of mental gymnastics do we have to do to justify something as 'justice' vs just plain old 'murder?' Where does this take us? Where does that reasoning end?

Because it's about sending a message. They've seen how popular this guy and his actions have become and are trying to throw everything at him so it puts off any copycats.

Probably concerned they would blow the whistle on similar issues within their company to. 'I've made things difficult for the last company I worked for' suggests you might do it to your new one as well, I guess.

Which will promptly be dug up again the moment a local utility company decides they need to repair a pipe/cable etc.

This looks... rough tbh. I honestly thought this was a CW TV series at first.

I wish more places did this with stuff that's dumped at the side of the road etc.
