In a world with man made climate change, hurricanes should have sponsor labels like NASCAR.
“Hurricane Milton is brought to you by British Petroleum”.
Be careful what you wish for.
Hurricane Helene is brought to you by ExxonMobil
How high are you
No officer, its “Hi, how are you”.
There’s no such thing as bad exposure, so no, they should not get free advertising for catastrophies they’ve caused.
NASCAR works. The wind does all left turns.
No they should be sponsored by the politicians who refuse to aid those affected.

All companies should donate to a climate fund. Whoever donates the least, gets to be famous.
All people should donate and those who donate the least get famous.
Oh wow! Look what happened! It’s all the poor people who contributed to the problem the least, who also can’t afford to donate, that look bad.
Sorry, but this is patently a terrible idea. at least from the perspective of calling out the poorest.
Just measure it as a percentage of their market cap/gross profit (yes gross, not net) rather than an absolute dollar amount, problem solved.
What if the poorest companies would not be excluded. Also, the environmental impact of the company should be considered too, so that the numbers would be fair. A company working on CCS technology doesn’t need to donate as much as another one that builds coal power.
“This hurricane brought to you by: Pepsi Co!”
This is identical to another shower thought from yesterday
