Yeah god forbid his net worth go down by a few tenths of a percent.
We need to seriously, as a society, treats this level of greed as a serious, in patient, mental illness that requires treatment.
No, Just need to kill them and process the remains into fertilizer. Then seize their wealth and use it to fund counters to climate change.
Not just greed, but the sheer level of sociopathy you have to possess to be a CEO. That level of “don’t give a fuck about anyone except shareholders” will be the downfall of humanity.
Friend, you’re absolutely correct. And while I love punctuation as much as the next person, you need to ease up on the commas almost as much as we need to ease up on fossil fuel consumption.
It’s grammatically correct.
No it’s not.
We need to seriously, as a society, treats this level of greed as a serious, in patient, mental illness that requires treatment.
- “As a society,” could be placed at the beginning of the sentence instead of as an interjection, which eliminates the need for one comma.
- The verbs are conjugated incorrectly; “treats” should be in the infinitive, since “need” is the active verb.
- “In patient” should be hyphenated.
- “In patient” should not have a comma after it, since it is the last adjective in a list. “Mental” is not an adjective in this instance, because it is part of the noun.
- Using “seriously” and “serious” in the same sentence is repetitive and unnecessary.
- “That requires treatment” is redundant, as OP already said “treat " and “in-patient,” which implies “that requires treatment.” Personally, to clear things up I would uncouple"in-patient” from “serious mental illness,” which takes care of several of these issues.
- If you ever see four commas in a non-compound sentence, it’s almost certainly done incorrectly. At the very least, the structure could probably be cleaned up.
Here’s what the sentence could look like:
As a society, we need to diagnose this level of greed as a serious mental illness requiring in-patient care.
See? Cleaned it right up. Now it’s down to fewer words and fewer commas while conveying the exact same information.
Remember folks: “when in doubt, leave it out.”
Remember when everyone got together online and decided that we love people who point out grammatical errors in social media?
It’s a good thing that I don’t comment on social media in order to feel loved.
The comments conflict with the recommendations of climate scientists and U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who has called on the fossil fuel industry to “drive, not obstruct” the transition to renewable energy. Burning fossil fuels is the biggest source of the carbon emissions blamed for global warming.
Even Sultan al-Jaber — who is head of Abu Dhabi National Oil Co., one of the world’s largest oil producers, as well as president of this year’s U.N. climate talks — urged the oil and gas industry to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by or before 2050.
2050?! Between more intense hurricanes, floods, fires, and lack of fresh water I don’t know how many humans can even survive that long.
Shell supports Russia in their aggression on the people of Ukraine. I already have a personal boycott against them. Like Unilever, they’re making MORE profits than ever from their operations in Russia in spite of making noises about curtailing business there.
If anyone doubts their thirst for blood money that’s just another data point.
