Honestly, this entire thing is absolutely sickening. I expect this kind of thing from certain nations, but something so egregious being passed off in the name of economics? Condemn us to hell, and give us our big screens.

Capitalism has us in a seriously messed up place. When profiting off others is the penultimate value then other more noble values are sacrificed. We can be better.
The world would be far better off if greed and selfishness were not some of our highest values. But they are at the base of our economic systems.
It’s time for the world to grow up. But how do we move there? Hard to say.
