      You don’t understand paying people as little as you can, while extracting as much as you can for yourself? You don’t understand allowing people to starve because profits are more important? You don’t understand bombing children because a couple companies need some new money?

          At this point, I think the right side of the political spectrum is a different way to describe the left side of the Dunning-Kruger chart.

          Society can’t function when people only care about themselves, countries with robust social safetynets are happier. For all the GDP and mega yachts we generate, we’re 23rd.

          And have the thing we crow about as our thing, when we’re pathetic for that in the developed world, upward mobility. We’re 27th.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Social_Mobility_Index

          Our culture hyper-individualism is quite honestly inhuman, it’s a perverse point of pride to have about this cesspool of greed and rewarded sociopathic behavior, yet many do, smh.

          Capitalism must be heavily regulated straight jacked to work for society if it is to work at all. We subsist in service to our economy here.
