If this was you being caustic...;)

I think most of our 'hardest' problems today begin with "It's the Economy": the blind deferral pf all systems to currency instead of actual value and needs. The mantra stuck in my head is, "If you think the solution to (climate change, fascism, pollution, economic disparity, health) begins with raising money, you don't understand the problem." Corporatisation begins with someone monetizing a part of the world and then swearing moral allegiance to the money, not the thing that is the original problem. Our leaders have stopped thinking about problems as activities to be organized of, by and for the people or place, and instead think only of numbers, donations, profits and 'jobs'.

Think about starting a car company. If your goal is to make useful transportation, you would hire all of the people that are good at making a good product and it might end up something like a Mercedes. However, if you simply imply the idea of a car, but your goal is making money, you just contract an exploitive paper conversion company to print up those cardboard fast food trays shaped like a car that cost a penny to make but sell at museum gift shops for 2 dollars.

That's what everything has become: a monetized facsimile of a real human need, with millions of jobs based on processing the pretense of care or quality, but especially the pretense of oversight and leadership. We've often heard that we don't have healthcare as much as sick are, but it's all become "money don'tcare".
