📢 New Lesson: 3. Shareholder Pressure
Today’s release is Lesson 3 in our billionaire–climate series:
Shareholder Pressure — the hidden engine behind “growth at any cost.”
This is one of the most important mechanisms in the entire system.
It explains why companies:
- cut wages
- externalise costs
- underinvest in safety
- resist climate action
- favour short-term profit over long-term stability
And why CEOs can’t — even if they wanted to — simply “do better.”
Shareholder pressure makes everything else in the system more intense.
🔥 What you’ll learn today
This lesson walks through the real cycle behind corporate behaviour:
- Shareholders demand rising quarterly profits
- Companies cut costs and increase extraction
- Short-term profits rise
- Share price goes up
- CEO compensation rises with it
- Pressure increases → and the cycle repeats
This loop pushes companies toward behaviour that harms:
- workers
- communities
- ecosystems
- climate
- long-term resilience
It’s not an accident — it’s the structure.
💬 Your Activity for Today
Question:
Where have you seen signs of this shareholder pressure cycle in companies you interact with?
Examples might include:
- sudden cost-cutting
- reduced quality
- mass layoffs
- price rises after mergers
- “efficiencies” that look like corner-cutting
- products designed to fail sooner
- environmental shortcuts
Even a small example helps people connect the dots.
