"...unreasonable and uncompassionate all the same." Let's not forget inhuman, benighted, ignorant, unethical, immoral, illogical, shortsighted...oh, hell, these twits are just plain stupid. Ya' know, capitalism is kind of funny that way. It seems to want to eliminate human beings from the production side of things, and to eliminate the various factors which are considered liabilities with regards to profitability. Oddly enough, the former of the twain would result in many fewer people with jobs, a result of the continued and expanding use of automation in the workplace, which would produce fewer "consumers". The latter would give us policies and laws which would and will benefit faceless, nameless, personless corporations, to the detrimaent of humanity. LETHALLY negative feedbacks could be the ultimate product of capitalism's ongoing plan to reduce the human factor in profit/loss equations. Too much variability. The uncertainty of huma-er, I mean "consumer/producer" inputs is simply too much to be tolerated by capitalistic planners. In short, it seems to me that we are killing ourselves for a philosophy of economics. Bizarre.
