One thing to keep in mind is that people are more important than businesses. In general, we need to do things that are life affirming and that work towards the greater good, rather than focusing solely on maximizing profit. Capitalism is fine, but it shouldn’t be our only priority. We don’t need to help the rich; they’re doing fine. We need to help people who aren’t doing fine.
