    Except you oversimplified and it matters. The entire point of capitalism is to centralize money in the hands of a few at the expense of the rest. Capitalism itself demands continued growth, which is unsustainable.

    All forms of government are subject to corruption, but only some forms of government are broken by design.

      If you think capitalistic greed stops at national borders out of some sort of respect you are denser than I thought you were.

      China has almost 700 billionaires.

      Liberal clown-state, but with a red/yellow flag. Same shitty story, despite what you may have us think.

      Green energy is a growth industry. No reason why capitalists can’t make money building and renting new green infrastructure.

      If anything, we could use a huge injection of new capital spending. We’re just not getting it into energy projects. We’re getting it into fantasies and scams, like Crypto and AI
