Humanity is careening toward a variety of scenarios that spell global catastrophe, for no reason other than we’re holding ourselves hostage to an economic system that puts short-term corporate profits before the safety & well-being of people. This is not just unjust. It’s insane.

Do you know how many people would be less safe and lives of diminished well-being without a market economy? There is no alternative unless you wish others harm.

Many people are already less safe, their lives already diminished because of crony capitalism run amok in this country over the last 40 years. A virulent strain of capitalism, one completely untethered to ethical principle, is far from the romantic ideal of a market based economy

"Market" does not mean "Capitalism". Capitalism is just a way to make markets evil.

There's no such thing as crony capitalism. It's just capitalism.
