[Albert Einstein looks at us]
Unlimited competition leads to a huge waste of labor, and to the crippling of the social consciousness of individuals.
This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism.
I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy
Albert Einstein
Why Socialism?
1949

    No. That’s the unregulated part. And in a democracy, that lack of regulation falls squarely on the voters who have utterly failed in the U.S. and to a lesser degree in other western countries. The success of renewables was created by regulations and incentives by capitalist governments that adjusted the paying field to allow competition that promoted innovation in that field. The entire world was starting to move on climate change (probably too slowly, but still) - even China - until the U.S. voted in Trump and his ilk who gutted environmental regulations, disincentivized renewables and broke international environmental agreements.

      Capitalism will never regulate capitalism.
