Under Capitalism everything is commodified, everything becomes a product. What was once a simple patch of woods cannot continue to exist unless it serves a function. Of course, the only function deemed worthwhile or of value is if that patch of woods is making money. To stay a patch of woods it must become a park, which means it must be bought and held by a board of executors or government agency who worry that too many raccoons might cause problems so they’ll have to call an exterminator. To simply be requires that this patch of woods transform itself into someone’s property, or that it be managed and governed, and that’s if we still want it to be a patch of woods! Unfortunately very few people have the time for such an endeavor (time is money after all) and would rather bulldoze and rip up the woods to make something profitable. All the lives and spirits contained within literally amount to nothing in the face of “the market” because the wild world exists outside the realms of profit.
Because it cannot grovel before capitalism, it must be destroyed.

‘capitalism works’ factoid actually untrue. the 62 people who own half the world’s wealth are outliers and should be eaten.

need to return my capitalism 😳

there’s a really bad bug where pharmaceutical companies cut research for life saving drugs and spend more money on marketing. this has been reported many times but the devs haven’t fixed it! yikes :/

Have you tried turning it off and never turning it back on again

yeah, for some reason the cia showed up

seems there’s also recurring bug where increases in productivity aren’t scaling with higher wages or more time off for workers as you’d expect :/

all the updates have been buggy as well, what a shame

That fact that anyone working with food in America doesn’t have guaranteed paid sick days is a health hazard to the public.

no but for real, the CDC has said the leading cause of foodborne illness is the lack of sick days for people who work in the food industry and that it costs billions a year to the economy.

Capitalism, you’re doing great, sweetie!
