When is enough?

I just want to know: why is amassing vast quantities of meaningless
cash more important to the dedicated capitalists than preserving a
livable planet?

Look outside; our air is unbreathable. The climate change caused by
fossil fuel burning is drying and heating the planet leading to
catastrophic fires, brutal hurricanes and numerous other
life-destroying threats.

The exclusive focus on money and profits by corporations and
politicians has paralyzed our response to these threats

While some scream “socialism” to smear any who advocate rethinking our
mad rush to oblivion in the race to stash more cash, I think a
system that caters to real human needs while limiting production to
necessities and growth to sustainable levels so as to not destroy the
Earth’s beauty sounds like a great idea to me.
