The idea that an economic system untethered to any ethical or moral consideration - then given virtual control of our government - leads to anything other than societal disaster is a foolish illusion that’s already created rampant pain and dysfunction for both people and planet.

You know whose decisions ARE truly untethered and protected from the consequences of their actions? Politicians and bureaucrats!

Frankly the notion that your decisions should apply to everyone and you should suffer no consequences from that is more appalling than your lack of understanding of basic economic decision making. Hubris!
