I absolutely love this story about how capitalism removes all the resources, then when it's no longer useful, just trashes the place.

Pretty sure that's the work of people. I don't think it was the will of capitalism to order people to throw bottles into an old well.

Capitalism isn't the work of people ? Is it some kind of god you pray to ? Well that makes sense actually

Cheapest way to dispose of broken bottles. Just chuck it into the well.

Absolutely done to increase profit margins.

"How do we get rid of all these bottles, boss?"

Boss looks at huge empty well.

"There's nothin' cheaper than throwin' 'em down that hole we sucked all the water out of! Who's gonna care?"
