This is almost burying the lede. Winne Byanyima, from OxFam, directly confronted this CFO telling them he didn't want to hear about taxation or inequality. (Starts at about 2:00)
This is hilarious. And the Michael Dell thing was just plain sad. They are so far removed from reality it's absurd.
Reminds me of a talk given at google recently, maybe not so focused on the tax element but also about elites deciding what 'causes' to support.
