You psychopaths won't be happy until we've destroyed the entire planet in the name profit and the "economy" will you? I wish you felt empathy and had friends that you could care about and maybe you'd realize there is way more to life than making money. Put the ayn rand book down and work on connecting with people and trying to graduate from high school.

I've never read Ayn Rand's books.

More prosperity provides the surplus to afford being environmental. Unfree countries tend to be much more environmentally destructive, because the people are impoverished.

> there is way more to life than making money

I never wrote otherwise. You're making things up.

What's a bummer is that Walter is a smart and talented engineer, yet has a very stubborn and out of touch economic perspective that is at least half a century expired.

Just like Kyrie Irving is a talented basketball player but also a catastrophically-deluded flat-earther, it's just as possible for gifted software engineers to have flawed reasoning about the economy.

Are you sure your reasoning is flawless?

Free markets correspond with prosperity, in case after case.
