Which reminds me of this
A copy of Tom Toro's 2012 New Yorker cartoon. It shows an adult and three children, in ragged clothes, sitting round a small campfire. The adult is speaking. The caption says "Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders."
