The larger story here is that we've reached the endgame of Milton Friedman's "greed is good" economics (which Marx predicted). Because all natural resources (except our national parks, but give Trump a chance) have been exploited and exhausted, now businesses must increasingly turn to the American people in order to suck value out of them and reach outsized investor growth targets, lest they "leave money on the table." Thus the subscription economy, the gig economy, the monopoly economy, the "covid inflation" economy, and the healthcare scam, in which you give an insurer money to pay for medical troubles down the road, then, when those troubles hit, the insurer simply doesn't pay up, letting you die and rewarding people like Brian Thompson for growing profits because that's "just good business." Thus capitalism has been revealed not as anti-socialism, but as anti-social, even sociopathic.
