Are you kidding? There'd be body mound disposal startups left and right! They'd be the monthly darling of Wall Street investors! A burgeoning new market ripe for profit!
Capitalist profiteers never fail to exploit the damage they do and further capitalize on the externalities they create.
"Hey you know that K-12 System we lobbied to have defunded until it crumbled into dust to lower taxes on rich capitalists like us that send our kids to private schools so fuck ya'll despite us profiting off a publically funded, pre-literate workforce?
Can we interest you in some Charter Schools that take public funds and convert them into charter management company private profits? We promise only to profit a lil' bit you fucking suckers!"
The capitalists will never stop until they are physically, forcibly stopped. Whether that comes in the form of dying people that finally have nothing left to lose and only vengeance to gain, or the very air the capitalists breath choking their lungs from their own fine work.
They know they're destroying us. That's why they're so eager to get off this planet to be the owners of the only COMPANY STORE in existence on a new one, despite the glaring technological hurdles they think they can bluster and bribe their way past because "NO" is a dirty word to them unless they're the ones saying it.
