The Finance Industry Is Gorging Itself on Your Future—The Trend Lines Will Blow You Away

12. The banality of evil on full display. Corporate back scratchers and investors.

Destroying our democracy, families, friends, wilderness, wildlife, environment & future. All for a few extra bucks for themselves today.
And they are literally destroying it. Not one of them can be counted as friend to democracy or to our natural world or to creating a better future.
The evidence is in and has been for some time.
The stronger the corporations become, the less democracy we have. The more money in them, the faster our future goes up in flames.
And yet, they cheer when it goes up. The money! They cheer when they subvert the will of people at home & abroad. The money! They cheer when our delicate climate gets thrown more out of balance. The money!
Inside, they really don't care. Outside they may don many images and many caricatures of empathy. Internally, they are driven by only one guiding principle, make more money.
We are where many people have labored and invested for us to be. People who probably lived and died lauded as philanthropists or visionaries when in the long run, on our small dot in the distant corner of the universe, we would have been far better off if they hadn't existed at all.
