How much government intervention is too much? Any at all? If we could trust the people who own corporations to actually not be ruthless dickheads who will exploit every last resource, then maybe zero would be fine, but there’s too many examples of corporations not giving a shit about anything until it fucks either the environment or their employees to the point of lawsuits for me to say that ‘no regulation or intervention at all’ is the right thing.

What is the actual value of money?
Edit: I don’t agree with some of the later examples, ala what he calls Elon, etc, but overall I think the point of the video makes a ton of sense
