My biggest problem with #capitalism is that it forces everyone to make earning money their primary objective.

Not to provide valuable services for society.
Not to make sure that people don't suffer.
Not to preserve our environment.

All these things are just optional side effects to the main objective of making money, and will be easily discarded if doing the opposite turns out to be more lucrative.

@ainmosni ...another problem is that despite what we are told over and over, not everyone has the same ability / capacity for work. Not everyone is able to work 30, 40, 60 hours a week for a paycheck. #disability #ableism in the workforce is real - very few employers will consider paying a fair wage to someone who can work only a fraction of the time some can. Society misses out on a LOT by dismissing those who are differently abled as useless.
