    To some degree I agree with you. But it should be noted that poorly regulated capitalism often makes the smart decision for your own best interests to screw with others. Whereas better regulated capitalism (and socialism) theoretically makes that a smart decision less often.

    Also, companies do exist, they exist specifically to shunt responsibility off of individuals. (Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, because single people having responsibility for massive economic things is probably a recipe for disaster.)

    We do need a significant change in culture, we also need to change the system.

      Once again, need of regulation means humans are under-developed.

      Caring for short-term benefit paying for it by damaging long-term profits is exactly why I call such people idiots, together with trying to use “companies”, “capitalism”, “incentives” and a whole ton of other illusions to run from responsibility. Do I need to explain how not taking responsibility means becoming a slave?
