The problem is not that a bunch of corporate CEOs sit around thinking about ways to hurt people or planet, because they don’t; the problem is that they don’t think it’s their job to have to think about it one way or the other. That’s how an amoral system produces immoral results.

It's their job to externalities all the costs they can and make them the concern of the public, and that's why regulations are important. Democrats are willingly incapable of communicating this to people.

They do sit around thinking about ways to deliberately perpetrate haves/have-nots duality which they know hurts people and the planet. It didn't just happen inadvertently.

They don't?! Bc at a certain point without innovation a company just exist and churns out products and on services by demand and when demand runs low you decide how to appeal to more people by jumping into new markets or reproducing efficiently to cut production cost.

Mostly true. Between 4%-12% of CEOs exhibit some level of psychopathic traits compared with the general population's 1%. tinyurl.com/y6m5pb56 I'm not surprised that they're willing to do inhuman stuff to maximize shareholder value.

Capitalism has done a lot of good, you’re right. But only when its overreach was held in check by labor unions, financial regulations, anti-trust laws & fair taxation. When that blew up in the 1980’s (plus $ in politics) it started becoming an unfettered terror. And here we are.

Because the day after the second debate a certain someone said “Get that woman off the stage.”
