Equanimity
Just one man wanting to get rich
Is an act of social sabotage
When Mother Nature is a finite bitch
Where wealth itself is only camouflage;
A test to check for that demerit greed,
Which is one of many character flaws
We separate from legitimate need
With good reason, and scientific laws,
Which prove that capitalism is bad;
Selling community by exclusion,
When community can be fairly had
By steady commodity extrusion...
Liberated from those marketing schemes
That willfully crush equality dreams!

I'm not eager to stamp out capitalism entirely, because you're right, there should be a place on the sliding scales of all human interactions to allow it safely. But capitalism is clearly going totally unchecked if it's true that microplastics are showing up in human blood samples. That's really messed up when big oil makes something they can't unmake, and I know I didn't give them permission to to pollute my bloodstream. Polluting my bloodstream is my job, and I prefer to do that with something a little less carcinogenic, like a decent pint or a good red wine. I trust the eco-socialists to not mess overmuch with those companies...lol!
