    You can’t blame everything on “capitalism.” We’ve done the same thing for centuries.

    The problem is that the world has given a unfair advantage to some people. It really boils down to poor laws and regulations causing havoc.

      Right, it’s not just capitalism, many systems reward such behavior. But we are in a capitalist society now, that does not work for those reasons. Yes, bad laws and regulations are the problem, but they are there because the unscrupulous set them in favor of themselves.

      I’m no fan any ism, they are frameworks that all need careful, strong laws and regulations. Don’t get me wrong, some are better starting points but it takes diligence and an engaged populace to keep them working.

      The problem is, normal people got complacent while the malignant ones continued to ruthlessly play the game.
