Capitalism is criticized a lot on here (especially by American users, it seems to me). Most of that seems well-founded, but I also have the feeling that most of these complaints are simply venting and not the first step to improvement.

So I would like to know what specific changes you (especially Americans) want to see from lawmakers.

    I think capitalism can work fine if we limit the amount of stuff any one person can own. Having a few million $ seems fine to me, but everything above that leads to problems. I know this sounds like a very simple measure, but it would have huge implications.

      Infinite growth and the shittification of services and products while exploiting labor to make that happen are the real problems.

      Billionaires should not exist and companies should be doing what is best for the company, its employees and customers, not what pleases their stockholders.
