  Yeah they should be allowed to burn everything they ever touched and take it with them when they go. Or maybe we even build giant stone triangles for them and put all their stuff in there with them.

  Them getting to spend all the money scraped from the rest of the world and leaving a bleaker version behind us so justified. They put in all that effort and who cares about next generations anyways.

  Common phrase of course:
  “Cut down all the trees you planted in life so that nobody but you can ever sit beneath it’s shade.”

    I don’t think you understand what “spending money” means. It’s a good thing because one of the bigger problems in today’s world is wealth-hoarding - accumulated wealth grows and when it’s spent, it actually helps the economy, by people earning money from the services / manufactured products bought.

      Unfortunately, in the USA, spending money usually means handing it over to the ultra wealth hoarders

        Let’s not kid ourselves and call them “united” anymore. Anyways, this is lemmy.world, not lemmy.dsa, so while I am pretty sure that even in the DSA, spending money helps the economy, I was talking global.
