Regulate on corporate price gouging and collusion, break up monopolies, tax the rich, use the money to bolster social safety nets and build new ones.

Was gonna ask, is this greed driven again?

Companies are inherently greed driven and that’s not necessarily a bad thing when they function as a component in a properly balanced, regulated system. The issue now is that most governments are too weak and co-mingled with corporations to be able to effectively regulate.

And duopolies or tri-opolies. Most American industries are dominated by 2-3 players that own the majority of their respective markets, acquire or crush anyone who dares challenge them and use their media and lobbying arms to maintain the status quo. Land of the unfree, home of the bootlickers.

That makes total sense. I disagree maybe that being greed driven isn't always bad, but our system is set up for that and any corporation that doesn't focus on wealth at all costs is likely going to lose market share to one that is.

Overturn capitalism when?
