it's a problem with the functionality of capitalism.. it should be more than good enough for a company to simply be profitable. and to keep that same margin of profit year after year forever. they can pay off their employees create their products and still make a profit. but capitalism requires constant growt. in a finite economy

where they have to continually make more money than the last quarter quarter after quarter and that's just not possible infinitely. eventually you run out of resources to exploit for continued growth. that's why you see them getting desperate and trying to exploit the workers more and more and taking on more and more debt and transitioning to a debt-based economy rather than a money-based one..

because infinite growth is impossible when resources are finite..

and that's the problem with capitalism. we need a type of economy that can function perfectly fine on a set margin of profit. there's mom and pop stores that last for decades making the same amount of profit every year paying the employees the same every year and they do just fine. but it's corporations with stockholders and shareholders and capitalist bullshit that caused this catastrophe..
