These people are causing civilization to break down. I'm certain they aren't prepared to deal with an uncivilized population.

The ruling class thanks you for hating their designated scapegoat. You will continue yelling about their pawns, paying your taxes, accepting their inflation, and voting for their chosen candidates and parties.
My mother told me she took some sort of business class in college as an elective. The professor said something like "there are no ethics in business. There's only the law."
She dropped the course in disgust.

My wife the tramp.
Back when I was in my early 20's I once had an interview with the owner of an IT support business. He asked me what would I do if there was a sales person that was selling services that the company didn't have the skillset for, and I said something along the lines of stop the guy from miss selling, identity if what he is trying to sell is a genuine area for growth, skill up staff and then offer the service.
He said I was wrong, the sales person was doing his job perfectly and it was up to the rest of the company to try and figure out how to fill that gap. I was offered the job but turned it down as I didn't think that was ethical.
Blame Reagan.
A big part of deregulating banks back in the 1980s was shifting away from expensive manufacturing to cheap financial services. Instead of investing in bringing US factories back, Reagan's polices sent the actual work overseas and left management here.
And dodge brothers vs Ford forcing corps to only be for shareholders value
You get that when deregulating one area at the expense of even further strangling others with regulations (a regulation keeping an oligopoly or a protectionist one is still regulation).
BTW, the most common visible problem of libertarian models. They get the absolutes right, but ignore the relative. This means that those following them ignore transient processes, and the model breaks halfway.
And MAGAs will say Trump will fix this with the tariffs.
No, they'll tell you he already fixed it...
Because Regan was the President of China when capitalism was enshrined.🙄
Regan
Ronald Reagan was President of the US from 1981 until January, 1989.
I tried to find information on the President of China in 1750 AD. Nothing came up.
So Regan created capitalism⸮
MBA stands for maximally bad agents
If you know anyone who’s gone to business school you should disrespect them continuously
I want to argue with this, but it wouldn't be much of a rant community if it talked back.
They had to be the kind of person to want to fuck everybody else over first - school just showed them how to accomplish their goals if they were selfish & driven enough to do so.
They just leave all the ethics they were taught behind.
Business school is only a symptom of the problem. I blame genetics! The type of people who hold this view have always, intentionally or not, made it look like the best system. Adopt this approach and those that began it, and their brethren will reward you. Alternately you'll do well anyway because ultimately it's the best way to make money. The problem is it's also the best way to make enemies if the greater balance isn't maintained. How is this genetic? Well I just think it's the way some people are wired. I know there's no doubt that you're environment plays a big roll, but in combination it can be catastrophic. Either way it doesn't seem anyone has recognized this. By that I mean society keeps getting sucked along and the decades of mentioning of anything of this sort, is quashed. When will we wake up? I'd like to add that once you gain more control it is easier the keep the ball rolling.
