Per the Wikipedia: “Karl Marx wrote in Das Kapital (Vol. 1, Part III, Chapter Ten, Section 5) "Après moi, le déluge! is the watchword of every capitalist and of every capitalist nation. Hence Capital is reckless of the health or length of life of the labourer, unless under compulsion from society."
It’s a statement that was issued by King Louis the 15th in 1757. The literal translation of “Apres moi le deluge” is “after me, the flood”. The literal meaning is “I don’t give a shit what happens after I pass.” And, what could more succinctly summarize the attitude of Trump and his corporate enablers toward climate change?
