Capitalism being a corrupt and amoral institution isn't new, though. Yeah, it sucks and it sucks that all these people losing their jobs and homes and so on wasn't enough to make anyone care and try to change the system, but that's standard fare. And for all the shit the banks put people through these days, it's still better than the age of slavery and indentured servitude and child labour that existed during the golden age of capitalism, where everything was for sale and nothing could stand in the way of profit.
