this system is big businesses continually lifting the ladder up behind them

If you think to yourself that those problems are the result of merely an economic system, you really need to get your brain checked.

What else would it be? Capitalism is built on maximizing profit in a market system. Thus everything else comes at the expense of that. There are entire towns and villages in Mexico going with little to no water because coca-cola is extracting most of their natural water sources to make sugary soft drinks because it’s more profitable than meeting needs or preserving natural water sources. This isn’t complicated.

You are sneaking in this inane premise that we exist under pure, free-market capitalism, and always have.
Try again.

what would you suggest?
Not being so myopic as to boil all those problems down to being the result of a particular economic system. Was that not clear?

Definitely the type of dipshit who says “Oh, you don’t like capitalism? But you participate in it. Curious”
