A mining & oil tycoon flies his private 787 over some fishing vessels to complain about ecological damage. Pot... Kettle...



A person’s hypocrisy has nothing to do with the validity of the complaints they make. A given complaint is valid/invalid on its own merits and the fact that the person making the complaint is a hypocrite does not invalidate the legitimacy of the complaint.


I fully agree, but I still found it interesting/funny.


I know u jest. fwiw at least he's an Argentine pot; maybe he was saying 'if we're to have ecological disasters in Argentina it should at least benefit Argentines'


One airliner flight is going to do a little less overall environmental damage than 400 illegal fishing trawlers operating every day.
