    It’s clearly working very well for itself, but it’s doing it for the benefit of the stock holders, not for the community, not for the employees, and certainly not for the environment - those are all just annoying cost factors that must be minimized to maximise profits.

    I am saying this is not sustainable, and we have now reached that point. People have several jobs and still can’t pay their bills - that’s new, and a sign that we’ve reached the limit.

      Yeah, and the right way to do that is to put a number of hard and soft limits on capitalism. Tax the greedy bastards, put good employment laws in place.
