When is the government going to realize that capitalism is becoming a security risk for them.

The amount of companies that they need to rely on to keep their edge on the world stage is staggering. And all that needs to happen is a few of those companies that don't have developed alternatives making individual decisions to do things cheaper or for more profit will eventually lead to problems like this in critical infrastructure that other countries can take advantage of.

If they don't punish microsoft for hiding a vulnerability that let to the largest hack of any government in the history of computers, then they're not going to really punish boeng either.

Any system that rewards achievements of any kind work inventions or whatever, will have people cheat to fake it to get the reward. Even if there is no currency and it's only for instance prestige.

Capitalism is bad, which is why it is regulated. But it's the least bad system we have for now, so it all depends on good regulation.

This attempt to make equivalent different systems that reward achievements doesn't hold water when you think about the real world outcomes of different examples. E.g. rewards for research in the scientific community vs rewarding profit maximization in corporate America. There's a vast trough of dead and sick people separating the two, among other differences.

Capitalism successfully captures regulation (and democracy). The only mechanism that I'm aware of which has shown evidence to resist that is labor organization. But clearly that can be restrained too after a while.
