I think capitalism is likely to end humanity.

There is a profit motive to prevent global destruction.

But not this quarter.

That's the problem, isn't it? Capitalism is always short-sighted because you have to be profitable in the now, not the long term.

Exactly, that's why we are sleepwalking to our doom. For the short term benefit of so very few people.

Spelling is syntax, not grammar :)
