Some rich assholes buy your functioning company
Rich assholes fuck up trying to get even richer
Functioning company is somehow screwed
Over and over and over, lately.
I don't think blaming capitalism is a complete answer, here - the functioning company in step one was capitalist. There was, at that point, a group of people making stuff to sell for profit, and it was working okay. (Should've been unionized a decade ago, and management probably committed criminal skeezery, but the company did function.) There's nothing fundamentally impossible or self-contradictory about expecting the part where people do stuff for money to keep doing the thing it's for. On some level, this is people being bad at capitalism.
