This isn't the fault of capitalism, because we aren't a capitalist nation. This is the fault of corporatism, capitalism's psychotic brother on steroids. Capitalism does have a profit motive, but it's never the only motive. In fact, in most instances, a hyperactive profit drive will curtail business because people are turned off by that. Corporatism sees unlimited growth and the need for ever more profit as it's only goals. People are disgusted by it, but in a corporate system, there are few if any other options. So, that poor boy who needed a walker but whos insurance provider won't spend any money, because they can't let money go or it's bad for them, and another company sees an opportunity to gain some attention and possibly business decides to help. I don't see inspiration in that story whatsoever. One leech doesn't do it's job while another leech takes attention spending pennies to build something knowing they'll get hundreds in traffic after.
