Capitalism is starting to feel like a massive piss-take. You've got corps laughing all the way to the bank with billions in profits feeding their employees with fucking potatoes.
Surely something has to give?
Tbh I am kind of surprised no one has literally eaten some of the rich by now for nourishment.
I expect nothing will happen right through the crops failing, famines, mass migrations, wet bulb heat waves, ecological collapse... Nothing good anyway... Most likely fascist police state; probably sooner than later.
It'll happen gradually enough that people won't connect the dots.
It has multiple times, housing bubble, dot com bubble, soon the used car bubble, then it'll be another housing bubble with apartments etc... Capitalism has such a stranglehold on the world that it's going to take a very long time for it to change enough to be called something else that actually works
Starting?
same people who are just starting to see how democracy works too
Paying their employees with fucking potatos.
We could always embrace capitalism by getting rid of corporations, like as a concept. They're a fundamentally anti-capitalist idea.
More than likely the hospital is a non profit, so the profits at all costs doesn't really work.
"Non-profit" doesn't mean it doesn't make money and doesn't prevent hospital administration from taking massive pay bumps.
