The current state of capitalism will ensure the second line never sees the light of day
deregulated capitalism is a curse on society
Said looking at one regulated to almost mercantilist levels.
Are you stupid?
I don't think so.
What, it seems stupid to you that monopolies created using copyright and patent laws designed to benefit domestic companies I call mercantilism? Bailing out companies "too big to fail" is regulation too. Health in USA is so expensive because it's regulated to work this way.
There are plenty of regulations, just not those you'd want, too bad.
We can already create enough abondance that no human starves, sleep outside or can't affotd medical treatment. Still look at the world.
Why bother to let humans live if they are not profitable enough for the megacorps? That almost sounds like work.
No no, they're desperately looking for that, because gating infinite abundance away from the plebs will be amazing for quarterly profits and entertainment! Think of all the reality shows you can make by pitting the poor against themselves!
