      Because Capitalism rewards greed and exploitative behaviour. Only natural for those kinds of people to rise to the top under this system.

      If you want change, join/organize protests, unions, and Socialist movements.

        It is not only in benefit of those people, but also of the countries they live in, and that’s why capitalism rewards exploitative behavior.

      The ‘piss you off’ hard truth?

      Because we enable it. We protect it. We allow it.

      We enshrine their rights in corporation laws to do the things they want to do, put profits above people.

      They are not policed, instead they are rewarded by paying those people who would police them not to do so.

      As a society, we allow this to happen.

      So then, what kind of people would gravitate to running a corporation, under those conditions? Potential unlimited power, with potential no oversight?

      Fuck, I’m pissed just writing this.
