This is exactly the type of shit that radicalizes people into violent action.
It's almost like they're trying to force people to be violent. I don't get it.
I've been in corporations being driven unto the ground to extract as much money as humanly possible in the shortest amount of time. They are sociopaths, they are physically incapable of stopping. They want ALL the money and they want it NOW. They can not help themselves, and they won't stop unless they are forced to stop by regulations, you know, in a well regulated capitalist society that puts limits on greed that costs people's lives or happiness on an undue scale. If you don't have those regulations... we'll that's how you get a forced reset of the country by people who can't manage to swallow that much bullshit
Violence is NEVER the answer! Can you imagine how horrible it would be if some degenerate insurance needer walked into a board meeting and pewpew'd all the poor shareholders? Who would make the hard decisions and demands that costs be dramatically cut and value dramatically increased? What if some horrible psychopath threw a maltov into an executive office? Or some villainous cloak and dagger type of scum rigged car bombs in some poor wealthy persons gated drive way? What would we do then! We'd live in terror of extracting value out of a system that is ment to provide service instead of just freely taking that value without consequences! Can't you even image how bad that would be! Think of the CEOs people!

I get the anger, and there's no direct threat of violence, so I'm leaving it up.
