The entire thing needs to be burned to the ground and started fresh. We need to close the stock market as well, it only harms literally everyone that isn’t in the Investor class of humans. Figure out Capital a different way if need be, but the way we’re doing it is literally killing all of us, and the vast majority of species on the planet currently.
I don’t agree that “burn it all down” is the right solution, especially if we’re hypothetically in agreement that the end goal is the maximization of happiness for the highest number of people. Going through that transition will be worse than what we have now for most, and there’s no guarantee that a more equitable society is built in the ashes of this one.
It has always been this way for thousands of years. Democracy changed the rules a bit, but it’s always been a battle between the meek and poor vs rich and powerful.
This IS our society.
