I love this quote. It highlights the absurdity at the heart of our society.

Under capitalism, it's very normal to let children go hungry, let banks force people out of their homes, let sick people die for lack of access to healthcare. But the idea that billionaires could just be less rich, not poor, not struggling, just less rich, is considered insane.

@IndyRichard along the exact same lines, the idea that a company could still be profitable just less so is considered insane and naive, as well as the idea that if a company can’t be profitable unless it’s killing people or making things unsafe or criming in whatever way then it’s not a business plan and shouldn’t exist
