I was literally just thinking about this on my way home yesterday. Society is completely broken, there is no us only ME. this is especially terrible in the United States where we fetishize "rugged individualism." You don't care for anyone but yourself. Look out for #1...
So when the choice is "money for me" or "consider my impact on my surroundings" the result is "lmfao consider others? It would be stupid for me to not make this money at the expense of others."
Every shitty self serving decision made for ones own profit is the "smart thing" to do, even if it was literally destroying the entire town around you. I hate it.
