Capitalism--No Money in Cures or Solving Problems

[ProfD]

The USA does very little to decrease the demand for drugs. Follow the money. 

 

Yet, the same  country will criminalize and punish the low-level folks who traffic drugs. Follow the money. 

 

Right now, in another show of force, the US is blowing up fishing boats in international waters near Venezuela under the guise of narco-terrorrism.

 

Approximately 80 people have been unalived as result of military strikes on their boats.

 

Let's be clear...the majority of fentanyl and cocaine coming into the USA  isn't being trafficked on those small azz fishing boats. 

 

Most of fhd drugs pouring into the USA come from Colombia and Mexico by evey means of transportation...land, sea and air.

 

With money involved, best believe a whole lot of white folks are getting rich from the proceeds of drugs.

 

The US economy benefits significantly from everything associated with selling drugs and its usage from consumerism (cars, houses, clothes, vacation, entertainment, etc.) to medical, legal, judicial and law enforcement.

 

Just as there is no money in curing diseases and ailments, the same goes for eliminating the demand for drugs. Follow the money. 

 

Both the legal drug dealers (pharmaceutical industry) and illegal drug dealers are allowed to thrive at the expense of people being sick, debilitated and/or addicted.

 

A long time ago, it was realized that because they are going to die anyway, humans are expendable. Therefore, it makes most sense to profit from their existence.

 

Human pain and/or suffering is finite due to mortality. However, the money that can be made while folks are living can be recirculated many times over and build wealth.

 

There's no money in cures. Problems are big business especially in a capitalistic society and system thriving on it. Follow the money.

Is the problem Capitalism?
Or is the problem immorality and unethical business practices?
 

We talked about wisdom in another thread.
There's a difference between being CLEVER and being WISE.

We know that the current elite believe there is more money in treating people than curing them.
They think they are clever for building an entire economy on managing the "symptoms" of problems instead of solving them.
 

However WISE people know that there is faaaaar more money and other benefits to be gained in actually curing people and better yet PREVENTING most of these diseases and other problems in the first place.

A healthy stress free society is FAR more productive and innovative.

With the trillions of dollars the leaders of this world have already WASTED trying to reduce the population through diseases, wars, criminalization, and other means....they could have invested that same money in incentivizing people to terraform other planets, EXPAND the human population, and expand the economy which would have yielded TRILLIONS in profits!

The problem is capitalism feeds human greed in such a way that only a small percentage of people get to enjoy a vast amount of wealth.

Apparently, for thousands of years, the wise people have not been able to appeal to the greedy people.

The greedy people enrich themselves by keeping the population just healthy enough to trade their labor for wages.

Generating trillions of dollars more would mean greedy people have to share the wealth and they wouldn't have anyone to look down upon if there's no lower class people.
