@BrentToderian @parismarx my takeaway is that our corporate overloads don't care about people, what effects their decisions have on people's lives, and they certainly don't care about what they're doing to our environment. All that matters is aquiring more wealth. Being stupendously wealthy apparently removes empathy.
