The guy who ran Cuyamel back when they were bribing the Honduran government and after that the United Fruit Company supposedly spent the rest of his life drafting social welfare legal proposals for democrats.

The amount of exploitation and destruction of the environment that it takes to accumulate 1 billion dollars can never be offset by any amount of โgoodโ that is done by money. If I extract resources and a exploit a community and get a billion dollars, then turn around and give every cent back to that community, surplus value will still be lost.
