Capitalism always finds a way.

Price gouging is good business. Bribing officials is good business. Collusion, vertical integration, and monopolies are excellent business.

Just because something generates a profit doesn't mean it should be allowed. With the social contract completely broken, there are no guardrails on what companies will do or what their employees have been taught they should do at all costs.

With no social contract, Luigi will become the norm. Because why not? When you're at rock bottom there's no place to go except up.
