My thought is that if people are getting supremely wealthy off of other peoples labour (as well as trashing the environment) and we see this divide, then peoples labour is obviously undervalued.

They are not so much stealing money from your account, but the amount they put in looks like it could be a lot bigger?

I don’t know, but something is off, the way I see it.

the fact that environmental issues are a burden to a society instead of a company in itself is already a problem.

Many companies make huge profits because the enviromental impact of their work is an externiality, and they do not carry that cost.

Yeah, I just couldn’t be bothered to dive down that hole, but I wanted to add it as it is part of what is completely broken.

Probably the biggest part, as we will come to see.
