THIS is Disaster Capitalism.

When you read up on it, you expect to see a pandemic or national crisis as yet another potential opportunity to compete, control and expand for the sacrament called PROFIT on the altars of Wall St.

There is money to be made on the way up and money to be made on the way down. That does not apply to us plebs though. Keep an eye on the sky for Vulture Capitalists, (and their cousins, the scammers) as they eye what meat or sinew is left on our bones. Then, they can always grind the bones to make their bread, so to speak.

If those two aspects of toxic capitalism are not checked, do not be supersized to see the increasing dominance of the larger predators in business and in the work place. Micro-managing anyone? You want what, a livable wage? HA!
