Care about this, you know, but but don't worry guys, we're not going to cut the dividend because a lot of shareholders own it because oil and gas companies pay big dividends.
You know, Shell, for example, BP, some of the biggest payers of dividends into pension funds that there are.
And I said, if you really care about this, why don't you put more money into it and cut the dividend?
Oh no, we're not going to cut the dividend.

Basically one of those kind of oh here we go.
One of those kind of sort of you know virtue signaling bits of gobbledygook that you couldn't really make head or thumb.
But you've got to remember there there was a quite a lot of pressure on companies far and wide to do this.
