Cummins has gone and done it again – jacked up their dividend by 10% to $2.00 a share, and they\u2019ve got the bloody nerve to act like it\u2019s a triumph. A triumph for who? The fat-cat shareholders popping champagne while the planet chokes on diesel fumes? This isn\u2019t a win; it\u2019s a fucking disgrace. Another pile of cash shovelled out of their dirty diesel empire, and not a sodding penny more for the green future they keep banging on about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diesel: The Filthy Truth<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s not piss about here – Cummins runs on diesel. It\u2019s their bread and butter, their whole damn identity. Every engine they churn out, every exhaust cloud that stains the sky, it\u2019s a big middle finger to anyone who thought \u201cDestination Zero\u201d meant something. Zero what? Zero shame? They\u2019re still pumping out fossil fuel beasts, and this dividend hike just proves they\u2019re not arsed about changing. It\u2019s business as usual, and the world can sod off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Shitty Distraction<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This dividend bump isn\u2019t a pat on the back; it\u2019s a fucking smokescreen. A dazzling little handout to keep the investors quiet while Cummins sprinkles a few quid on \u201cgreen initiatives\u201d that don\u2019t mean shit. Hybrid this, electric that – it\u2019s all bollocks when the real money\u2019s still flowing to diesel and dividends. They\u2019re not fooling anyone who\u2019s paying attention, but they don\u2019t need to – the shareholders are too busy counting their stacks to care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What They Could\u2019ve Done<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Imagine if they took those millions and actually did something – proper electric fleets, solar plants, real game-changers. Not this half-arsed PR crap they trot out to look good. But no, Cummins would rather keep the diesel taps open and the dividends flowing than stick their neck out for a cleaner world. It\u2019s not just lazy – it\u2019s fucking gutless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bottom Line<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Cummins can keep dishing out these dirty dividends, but it\u2019s their credibility that\u2019s taking a kicking. They\u2019re not the heroes of industry; they\u2019re the bastards clinging to a dying fuel while the planet gasps. Want to impress us? Take that dividend cash and ram it into something that doesn\u2019t fuck the environment. Until then, this is just more diesel-soaked hypocrisy, and we\u2019re not buying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
