    You see all of the electric cars on the road now? Tesla saw an opportunity to make money, and it paved a path to lower carbon emissions (eventually). Even the blind chicken catches a worm. Capitalism isn’t all bad, it’s the greed it breeds that’s bad. The world isn’t black and white.

      You mean those things that aren’t public transport? Those things?

      Tesla saw an opportunity to make money, and it paved a path to lower carbon emissions (eventually) still profiteering from privatized transport while pretending it was fixing anything.

      FTFY.

      Capitalism isn’t all bad, it’s the greed it breeds that’s bad.

      Capitalism is literally just a set of excuses and pretexts to justify gross economic parasitism - old-style concepts such as “greed” doesn’t even hold a candle to that.
