The issue isn't simply that profit motivates bad behavior, but rather how our capitalist system, particularly through lobbying and legislation, disproportionately amplifies the influence of well-capitalized interests. For instance, the prevalence of high fructose corn syrup in our food supply isn’t just a random government subsidy; it's a direct result of agricultural subsidies shaped by powerful lobbies. These policies don’t emerge in a vacuum but are crafted in ways that systematically benefit the incumbents with the most capital, often at the expense of public health and smaller competitors. This underscores a structural imbalance where laws and subsidies are swayed more by capital than by the collective welfare of the populace.
