Shareholder value

This cartoon by Tom Toro is an absolute classic, and it really keeps growing on you. Indeed, for a teeny, tiny moment we had so much shareholder value!

Three children sit around a small campfire in front of a ruined city skyline as a man in a tattered business suit tells them, 'Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders.'

The cartoon appeared in the New Yorker, and Tom Toro said himself in an interview that the image is from November 25th 2012.
