We call this system capitalism. Those with the capital get to use their wealth to hord resources.

Unfortunately as long as we have a society that values capital higher than humanity we won't do any of the suggestions in this video to save lives. We currently pride ourselves on valuing capital not humanity it is right there in the term caplistist society.

@Gumpmachine1 we produced more food than society needed every since we learned how to grow crops regardless of the form of society we had. Slavery was a great way for the Roman's to expand their empire and grow more food than they needed so was the feudal society in Europe but that doesn't mean those where great societies to live in

@noazucar why do you think Charles Koch wants a competitive free market? He wants a monopoly in his refineries like all good caplistist who have won in our caplistist society. Caplitsam is about getting a monopoly so you can maximize return on your capital. The free market is a fairytale sold to the working class to make them believe that inequality is somehow good for them as companies now have the highest profit margins in 70 years. Sad you don't see through that yet.

@Gumpmachine1 hardly most modern technology is a direct result of government funding not corporations. DARPA and universities are the souce of the vast majority of all new technology.

@Gumpmachine1 sad that you think DARPA is driven by a profit motive
