The Never-ending Ripples of Capitalism

Like a coin thrown into a still pond, the ripples of capitalism have flowed to all regions of this planet. Escaping its wave is impossible. The system in of itself is not evil, only compassionless. The problem is now this ideology is running like an uncooled nuclear reactor. Absolutely everything imaginable now has a price tag. Drinkable water, clean air, untainted food, health care, and even compassion, in today's world are all looked at as commodities to be sold for a profit. You would think the very wealthy would realize the unending thirst to have more, would eventually come back to bite them in their designer modified asses, but you would be wrong. The rich have become the equivalent of schooling piranha's devouring anything that dares to seek the water. Lose your job? Going to college for the skills necessary to find a new one? In today's America, all college does is saddle you with a mountain of debt. Colleges have it so rigged that they change the books needed for a course, every quarter, so you can' trade them and they can make even more profits. Tuition hikes are the norm. Yes, colleges are just another super profit debt mill operation. Now that you have a college degree and a job emptying bed pans at a for profit hospital, just remember your CEO is getting millions and a golden parachute when he leaves, instead of the golden shower he deserves.
