    Yes, but you’re going to find the same thing with Communism.

    Too many shitty greedy people at the top, too many plebs with fuck all at the bottom.

    And while you may be thinking “I could live on a commune, spend an hour a day growing our own food and have all that time left for whatever else I want”, you’ll quickly find you can’t grow your own 65" OLED television or whatever other comforts you’ve become accustomed to.

    The billionaires need reining in, and better distribution of wealth all around the bottom, but capitalism ain’t going anywhere.

      You don’t need a 65" OLED TV because you know it’s bad for the environment.

          Yes it’s a hard question how to deal with this. Practically all the consumer goods somehow harm the environment.

            We have been consolidating electronics and making them smaller by volume for a couple decades now. Things are getting significantly better at an individual unit level. Reusing and recycling are also good options and should be made more effective. Lowering global populations soon should also help.
