  • The irony is palpable.

    What if corporations didn’t count as people? If they didn’t worship the almighty dollar and put profits over people? Could capitalism work?

    No idea, probably not, but I’m not an economist. And humans are notoriously bad at screwing up basically every form of government.

    Also, that wasn’t my viewpoint, but you gotta admit that a lot of things in life would be better if human nature were completely (positively) different. Our lizard brains are wired for self preservation.


  • 110% agree.

    I could say “you know, I guess I can kinda see why people thought free market capitalism would work”

    And someone will come out of the woodwork like “I can’t believe you think billionaires profiting off exploitation is actually a good idea”

    First of all, no? Lol I’m saying I understand why people might think it would work, but for some reason forget that we as a people are generally selfish. Human nature and corruption and all that, people in power hoard power.

    You mean like our glorification of gun ownership, the military, and war in general?

    The thing is, there are clear ways to regulate gun ownership (even without banning them), whereas solving the mental health crisis is far more vague and subjective.
