> Mass layoffs and starvation are a problem society needs to solve collectively.

Very much disagree with this. This is capitalizing the profits and socializing the debts. They do not get to profit off of the suffering of others without repercussions, that is supposed to be what free markets prevent. This crony capitalist economy we have today with an explicit caste system in place, just pushes their debts onto you and I.

Destroying the economy and job market is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. If people do not have purchasing power they can't afford the product. The whole thing is destined to collapse.
