Capitalism creates generational poverty.
Generational poverty breeds desperation.
Desperation leads to self-destructive behaviors, broken families, fractured communities, isolation, crime, child abuse, etc.
Capitalism creates prisons, nonprofit industrial complex, big pharm, etc. to profit from the desperation.
It's a never-ending cycle.
I've heard someone say Shit Life Syndrome is mainly hereditary but also highly contagious, spreading easily through neighborhoods. It's not always terminal but it is quite malignant and very hard to cure.
Also, undiagnosed ADHD.
"Capitalism breeds innovation!!"
The innovation:
- Capitalism creates prisons, nonprofit industrial complex, big pharm etc to profit from the desperation (and captures governments to ensure focus is placed on increasing the profitability of these ventures)
One reason for this may be the fact that prisons in the US are run as a business, with private companies earning billions and therefore having an interest in ensuring that there are as many inmates as possible.
cheaper to keep them out of prison. but nope, big companies cant get thier payout from the government then
seems an awfully long time to make that conclusion

Not in the United States. Here, it’s just called “prison”. And you certainly don’t have to break the law to end up there for life.
And come, certainly, nobody who has been sentenced to death could ever possibly deserve it. Because murder isn’t justice.
