Is that Steinbeck?
oh yeah, the attribution fell off when copy-pasting
Thought I recognised it. Crazy how relevant it still is.
It's relevant for as long as capitalism is relevant because this is what is required to keep an economy motored by the profit motive going.
Yes unfortunately so. If the system values profit over life, then profit will always be the priority. Even if that leads to (and encourages) acts of inhumanity.
The reason the system values profit over life is because it requires profit to survive. No profit, no capitalism. This is why the people that keep trying to reform capitalism have failed for almost 200 years now, there is no reforming the profit motive away from capitalism.
