    Are you arguing that unfettered corporate capitalism is the best approach?

      Pretty sure they’re saying that tearing down capitalism entirely is the only approach.

        I think I can get behind that but do need more details about what replaces it and how.

          Droughts and floods, rising sea levels, hurricanes and tornadoes, sweltering heat waves, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together — mass hysteria!

          But yeah, we need more details about the alternatives.

        Huge-scale capitalism — Boeing and GM and Musk, et al — absolutely, but my home town diner isn’t doing any damage. Coffee and a cinnamon danish, please.

          All businesses weren’t doing much damage until they got big enough to do damage. Capitalism isn’t so much the pursuit of capital in general as it is the pursuit of capital over all else. If your diner values giving customers a good meal as much as it values making a profit, it’s great! But if it follows the capitalistic method of squeezing all profit from the scenario, all else be damned, then it’s just a smaller version of all the major businesses.

      Actually, I misread this. I read this as we cannot solve it by reigning in… My mind is a funny thing.
