Isn’t that the entire point of a capitalist economy?

What is the alternative?

No, the point is to implement laws that foster holistic growth, not gamesmanship that ends in terminal illness.
> holistic growth

I have never before heard that term in regards to the economy.

Everyone has always wanted maximum growth now, future be dammed.

People want to live now.

If the point is to be cancer, then the alternative is to kill it.

Things are getting so out of hand, this former-libertarian is getting to the point were he'd support any market regulation that makes libertarians cry.
