Stu, you bet we will!
Its not about capitalism, its about the govt oversight of capitalism, and enforcing the rules of safety and fair trade. Clean and safe has costs, in both time and labor. There are lobbyists bought to influence the govt in favor of corporate desires. . . belief that corporations with record profits can't be held to higher standards of safety carrying higher levels of dangerous materials is corporatism. . all actions are taken to increase the stock price, the ends justify the means. . .
The government is slowly falling down on its regulation of competition and corporations which is generating inequality and resentment that the government is irrelevant. .
there have been many government decisions which at the time many officials thought great, and in the end, many small companies went bankrupt. . . its all about oversight and enforcement of laws and fairness.
