Yes, the bailout was needed, but what about the people who lost their homes, jobs, livelihoods, etc? Why didn't they get compensated? They were victims, but the perpetrators were financially supported. The repayments to the government did not cover the mental and financial toll of the victims. Economic markets are manipulated and supported by the government, and people are ignored.

I know way too much about US-led coups in South America, and the invasions weren't about socialism. The US seeks control of the global economy and natural resources for corporate interests.

Capitalism has positives and negatives, but its major flaw is the pursuit of continuous growth. It's impossible. We don't have unlimited resources, and more jobs will be replaced by tech, but the most crucial component is people are the economy. We completely ignore this.

Forever consumption and production are impossible, and people are missing from every economic policy. Before we jump into the science of economics, we need to look at the social component. Otherwise, every system will lead to a poor outcome.
