After six years of silence, Goldman-Sachs CEO finally tweets. And it's adoozy.

Six years ago, Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman-Sachs got a Twitter account. And he’s never tweeted a single chirp. Until today. And what did he use his very first tweet to do? To slam Donald Trump’s pullout of the Paris agreement!




Holy buckets! Are the days of rich Republicans always supporting other rich Republicans finally over?

The Independent, CNN Money, Fortune, and Newsweek all took note with jaws agape. But Lloyd wasn’t done yet … tweet #2 was on the way:




He’s even got those little graphic thingies down too … something Hair Twittler hasn’t managed yet, after eight years ...

and despite whatever disdain I may have for the capitalistas running Goldman Sachs, I don't consider them stupid. They know which way the wind is blowing, and it's favorable for renewables from here on. That's not even taking all the trade implications - with possible sanctions down the road - into account.

I have always views him as pretty much non aligned politically, with love only for money.

I'd be willing to bet he's done business with Trump and gotten screwed in the process. Might have a little resentment going on and this is a safe way to let it out. He doesn't have to worry about offending the rest of the elites because Trump is on the wrong side of even them on this. There is no future in dirty energy. Certainly not in the international market.
