Scarcity is is essential to capitalism.

Many do die as capitalists literally destroy food to maintain scarcity.

I can only surmise that humans are largely happy with this arrangement, with vulnerable humans dying to maintain oligarch profit/metastasis expectations, because the global capital markets haven’t been burned to the ground for their relentless and celebratory sociopathic inhumanity. 🤷

Friendly reminder, don’t forget to shake your fist at your local homeless encampment on the way to work for lowering your local property values with their continued inconvenient existence!
