modern capitalism is something else: we have eugenecists with physical and mental issues or things that would be considered "inferior genetics", people with debts and nothing to lose fighting to defend billionaires with business that burn more money than they generate

Your average person is now closer to the second richest person on earth than the second richest person on earth (Larry Page) is to Elon Musk.

Yet we keep pretending everything is fine and we need endless budget cuts in order to satisfy our needs. How people can keep acting like all of this is normal behavior is beyond me.
