Long term investments are kryptonite for modern vulture captialists that want profit now

[–] pdxfed 1 points 2 days ago

And by vulture venture capitalists you mean nearly every publicly traded company, which is almost every company you've ever heard of. It's why you have to constantly be on the defensive even when buying a pack of gum. Is it full of poison? Too much sugar? Do they use slave labor to produce the product? Are they funding genocide in central America? Why is the price 3x last year?

By welding insatiable, unregulated capitalism as the sole way of operating our economy, we guarantee that quality and human-positive outcomes are eaten up, taken over, destroyed, monetized, privatized or enshittified.

I just want to buy a pack of gum in a reasonable world that doesn't need to support CEO levels of wealth and all the horrific downstream practices and cost cutting that comes with it
