  1. How does the greed theory account for periods of low inflation? Did companies stop being greedy for several years then suddenly start getting greedy again? Is hyperinflation in places like Zimbabwe because they are hypergreedy over there? Or is this all a load of simplistic bollocks? Tricky one

  2. The problem with taxing the super rich is you can’t say out loud that you’re going to tax the super rich… Or they get very cranky and use their influence over basically all media to ensure you never get near to being in power.

    Will have to see what labour do if (hopefully when) they get in.

  3. corporate greed wouldn’t be an issue for the average joe if the uk would have a thing known as a national housing system where people who can’t afford a living space would get one provided by the government. Or a national food system for that matter which would provide sufficient food for those in need. Or free internet for that matter. All of these things are not charitable items. They are investments in society that would pay tenfold and would increase the average joe’s productivity and increase corporate productivity as well.

    Corporations should push for better social systems that would benefit them also.

  4. I really hope people begin to connect the spiralling wealth of the billionaire and multimillionaire class with the burgeoning numbers of people being driven into poverty.

    People don’t seem to be able to link the two in their minds.

  5. Its one big get rich quick scheme for people in privileged positions, make lots of money quickly whilst the paupers suffer.

  6. Corporate greed is baked into capitalism. Greed issupposed to boost efficiency and motivate success. It’s intentional.

    Corporate greed is supposed to be controlled by competition, and by regulation. This government doesn’t seem to believe in either.

  7. Yet they keep voting the conservatives in. I see a lot of things happening that are similar to what we went through here in America with Trump.

  8. “Britain **isn’t** facing a cost of living crisis: it’s facing a bonanza of corporate greed”

    There I fixed it.

    Don’t tell me you need to put the prices of your product up with one sentence and announce record breaking profits with the other.
