I agree with what you are saying and it is a shame what greed is and has done to our society.

This was something I got wrong when I was younger. I didn't understand that there were sociopaths around. I'd have seen making laws to prevent, say, "exploiting people with cancer" wouldn't be needed. Now that I'm a bit older and wiser, I realize we need laws like that more than ever, because if such an opportunity exists in the USA (and it does) there will be a long line of people that take those jobs and sleep very well. They have little/no conscience. As long as they get theirs, fuck 'em.

There's a quote from the Roman days: "A civilization becomes great when men plant trees of which the shade they will never sit under". Meanwhile in present-day America I have heard this: "Who cares about global warming? I'll be dead!" Shameful.
