    Because muh economy. Capitalism will always “push the bill” on what they can do. shite gov doesn’t/wouldn’t keep up with regulations to aide the working class.

    My question is what’s the point in eternal growth? Why would one cut employees but boost executives? Money corrupts? Or is it them “getting theirs”

      I hate that term “eternal growth” and similar phrases, because it makes it seem like society as a whole grows eternally. It’s just larger increments for the ruling class. That’s it. The general public gets fucked for the ruling class.

      The answers to your questions are money, money, yes, and yes. Most people would do the same if in that position.

      I guess we could scrap the current system and adopt a new on that will no doubt evolve into essentially the same thing.

      Human nature/behavior will not change because of a shift in political or economic philosophy. It’s well documented.
