The only thing big corporations care about is next quarter’s profits. The world can quite literally burn next year if they get their big profits this quarter.

And if the world burns, they sure won't be the ones suffering the worst

What good is money if it's all on fire?

They believe that they won't be effected, or at least effected last and the least. These people are parasites on society and need to be treated as such.

You see capitalism is lime a virus. It grows, takes over its host (us) and causes painful symptoms. And naturally if the disease is not treated we will die. Right now the world is akin to having a bad flu. The world is even getting hotter to try to kill us.
