My understanding is amoral means outsides the bounds of morality as a construct for judging human behavior and that’s how I perceive capitalism and why it’s destroying humanity as we know it
The answer is not and never has been to bring one group down. The answer is to bring the other group up. Trump had more increase in real wages in 3 years than Obama had in 8 because he restructured trade deals & brought some manufacturing back to the U.S. among other things.
No, not "collectively. We lifted ourselves out of caves through mutual, voluntary cooperation involving a free exchange of skills & services motivated mostly by personal gain, often fueled by insatiable curiosity.

That's not the even playing field I'm talking about. I'm talking about consistent regulation, for eg. Country A has tech, Country B steals that tech w/o consequence. County A has zero labour laws, Country B is an enlightened western country with progressive labour laws. Etc.

Imagine a 1% "net worth" tax. On every person in the US. Top to bottom, politician to pool boy. 1% of your total net worth.... Bezos = 1.86 Billion $ Zuckerberg = 1.02 Billion $ Anyone with more debt than assets? = 0$ How is this a bad plan.....?

The stimulus package was the greatest transfer of wealth upwards in human history and every single so-called progressive in Congress voted for it. Every. Single. One. You're being duped folks. They're all in on it. Every. Single. One.
The free movement of capital in a competitive environment where we're all on an even playing field in terms of regulation & enforcement of regulations is essential to maximizing economic growth & efficiency. Restraining capital from leaving also restrains it from coming in.
