A smack on the hand is simply not enough. They need to be brought up on criminal charges for "crimes against the economy".

They took millions of middle class citizens and made them poor, for no reason other than greed to be even richer. At their level of wealth, being richer won't even slightly effect their living conditions.

If there aren't laws for crimes against the economy, there should be.

There needs to be a tech workers union. The abuse from employers needs to end. Especially the endless free overtime.

I believe that's where the famous saying originates from.

This is definitely progress, but we need to keep in mind that the particular language a person speaks can significantly influence how a person's brain works.

This concept needs to spread. Those record profits and the consolidation of wealth is a real-life exploit (a hack) of capitalism. These types of situations were never intended by the visionaries that designed capitalism. This entire clusterfuck of 1% having 99% of the money was never intended by design, nor seemed like a plausible situation to need to design protections for when the economy started getting destroyed by this situation. As the sickness of greed among policymakers grew, they punched holes in the system in order to exploit the mechanics of the capitalism to collect virtually limitless money while simultaneously denying other less privileged people not "in the know" the chance to do the same.

Does anyone remember the original Super Mario Brothers, where you could get crowns, basically giving you more lives than you could possibly use? These capitalist hackers found a way to get crowns at the expense of the 99%, and nobody has any clue or organized any way to stop this hack/exploit from ruining it for everyone else.

Capitalism has been hacked. If the system administrators don't manually intervene and redistribute wealth, we are just going to keep circling the drain until it's all over like a game of Monopoly where everyone except one entity is completely bankrupt.
