  Trees don't fall over the first day after a parasite infection you two, good grief. Things take time in the real world, emotional blithering about capitalism notwithtanding.

    > Trees don't fall over the first day after a parasite infection Precisely. It depends on a number of factors, including the strength of the tree and of the infection. In other words, these companies are getting stronger and more ingrained all the time, and the longer that goes on the harder it will be to do anything about it. > Things take time in the real world Yes, let’s all keep waiting a few more decades without doing anything or criticising the system. That’ll teach them and fix the problem, it’s been working really well so far. All that self-correcting is coming any day now, I can already feel the billionaires shaking in their gold-plated astronaut boots. Maybe the Invisible Hand of the markets will steal the olive from their cocktail.
