I don't disagree, but we all need to strive to do better. Pleading with perceived corporate overloads to fix problems they are simply victims of themselves isn't helping anything. I'm seeing this trend more and more where people want to blame ceos like they have some magical wand to fix the worlds problems. That's not how things work.
If we want to look for solutions, we should look at the 20 years of stimulus which go us here and question why this was happening and what we should have been doing about it. But, alas, few were complaining when they were able to get 500k loans with sub 3 interest rates...
How do things work? From what I can tell (speaking as an American), we do seem to have imbued corporate leaders with a reverence classically reserved for religious leaders. And who else are we supposed to look to? God is dead, and 40-odd years of starve the beast has left the government with seemingly few policy tools to enact change; though as you note they can still change interest rates and print money.
Hopefully someone will come along and save us, but it's hard to imagine who.
The government printed the money. They are the issue. Corporations compete with each other for survival, they cannot afford to be altruistic and expecting them to be is totally naive
Given that they are responsible for providing (and I suppose delivering as well) the healthcare of a majority of Americans, it seems problematic that corporations are nihilistic profit-maximizing machines though, doesn't it? I mean, I'm pretty sure we're all just boned at this point, but obviously I'm not much of an optimist. Judging by the declines in birthrates though, it seems like that's more or less what others are coming to conclude.
