In the 60s: "capitalism breeds innovation..."

In 2024: "Innovation is not allowed! It's hurting my capitalism!"

Listen, I'm not saying we should hold a gun up to the patent system to get those bastards playing fair, but I'm not saying not to do it... you can do a libertarian angle, socialist angle. Whatever. Just make it normal to remind those fucks they're not untouchable.

"bUt MuH cApItAl"

Not so fun when other people do it now, is it? Entire markets, run by dumb yuppies who inherited the kingdom from their dad's. Absolutely disgraceful.

The party of small government a d free market economics wants to make it illegal for an investment firm to consider the tangible risks presented by climate change when making investment decisions. They are trying to say that preferentially investing in companies that have plans to mitigate the impacts of climate change on their business model is an anti-trust violation.

This is so absurd on so many levels.

Listening to this interview and hearing this man describe the ultracapitalistic moronicity and unyielding corporate fealty that led to him being subpoenaed made me want to put my head through a fucking wall.

WTF
