The mutant version of capitalism we have now -- overwhelmingly tilted toward financial looters and their cartels -- is destroying community after community. This is deliberate, not an unintended outcome. Local hospitals are just one notably egregious example.

@dangillmor One way to end this is to eliminate interest.
Once you can't make more money with money, people would have to actually work and produce something to generate value.
But that will never happen because the ones owning the wealth also profit from the current system more than anyone. Thus there is no intent to change anything. That's also why they helped getting elected an idiot who can be manipulated with money. That's what they have in abundance.
@dangillmor
Simple. We must forbid any hedge fund and private equity ownership of residential real estate, health care, education, natural resources, and much more!! Billionaire foreign investors are stealing from Americans. They are 20% of those profiting from the selling and stripping of all our assets. ☠️ This is what I found by a cursory search. I'm no expert or financial professional. It's probably much worse.
