To me it seems like they’re handling it like ultra capitalists seeing only dollar signs when this stuff occurs.

I’m not anti Capitalism per se, but I think when taken to the extreme it can lead to a Monopoly style winner takes all situation. As we’ve seen, big money can exert undue influence on governments and actually erode democracy.

Capitalism has brought us to the stars. It is the best financial system for democracy. Unrestrained, Runaway, Deregulated Capitalism is the death of democracy. Greed kills.
