Capitalism doesn’t understand limits. Whether or not they are there is irrelevant. Only profit gains exist, even when they cause losses.
It applies to all aspects of existence to them. Everything is something to be “leveraged” for growth.
They will use fancy trendy terms like “sustainability”, “net-zero”, “responsible” in an attempt to placate the masses, but deep inside the high level meetings for pretty much all of the fortune-500 corporations and beyond , non of these terms mean squat.
It is a curated maelstrom of ambiguity designed to obfuscate, deflect and thwart any perceived threat to profit.
Until that system is fundamentally dismantled, outlawed and abandoned completely. Things can only get worse.
