This is capitalism completely disconnected from any ethical consideration. Charging people in Texas more for energy right now is morally criminal - especially since they have none! And no, this is not “just the way things are.”

Until when will they open their eyes to the harm of what those acts (become richer at The People’s expense) really cause, to The People and to themselves (elites).

Yeah you can just stop at "this is capitalism" No need to tack on modifiers and pretend like this isn't what pure capitalism is. Scalpers, and grifters, and corruption, and corporate control. It's all a part of capitalism.

Capitalism never has ethical considerations. This is EXACTLY what capitalism is
