Why are capitalists so fucking entitled? There’s no mandate that your shitty business has to succeed.

Ya kinda the crux of the whole system. There’s absolutely no responsibility or expectation to be good stewards of the land or community, just money. Batshit stupid way to set up an economy

Yeah that’s the job of the government. Markets are good at allocating resources but bad at handling externalities which is where the government steps in and regulates the externalities.

There’s regulations that they’re fined if they don’t follow but their ultimate LEGAL responsibility is to make money for shareholders. Fines are simply the cost of doing business, nobody gets in any real trouble
