In today's episode, we discuss the recent controversy surrounding David Solomon, the CEO of Goldman Sachs. Known for his robust opinions and unwavering stance, Solomon recently came under fire for his comments on fossil fuel divestment at a college event at his alma mater, Hamilton College.

The controversy began when Solomon, during a discussion about the university's climate change initiatives, purportedly belittled the students.

The students alleged that Solomon mocked the fossil fuel divestment movement, labelling it as 'stupid'. They also claimed that he speculated the university's dependence on fossil fuels was likely higher than it claimed.
