Public health is good for the economy?

That sounds like DEI.

"It's probably because he's undermining profits."

Profits, earnings, wages, GDP, life expectancy, status of the dollar as the global reserve currency.
He's undermining it all.
You like it.

"Kennedy is not the problem. The hucksters are the problem"

Kennedy is a huckster. So is his boss.
Capitalism means the rich get richer. That's how it's supposed to be. That's what it's supposed to do, and it does it very well.
The fix isn't to kill Capitalism. The fix is to provide public welfare, by taxing Capital.

Your sixth grade education is the problem, Robson.

Oh hi.

"But why don't the Frump and the Mush and the ridiculous Kennedy and the rest - even the Robsons whatever that is - get it?"

Trump and Musk has never had to get it. Their wealth affords them that privilege.
I would assume Robson is cut from the same cloth.

But there is really no way to tell what is behind these words on the Internet. People here who have been here for twenty years can claim to know a bit about one another, but that's about it.

Psychopaths are over-represented in the board room, that's probably the biggest systemic reason.

Specifically the act of incorporation, and shielding a business owner from personal responsibility for the actions of the business, is an intentional choice by our society to privatize the gains and socialize the losses.

It kinda all flows from there. Has for 500 years or so.

Happy to hear your thoughts on the topic.

'Woke just means you give a damn about other people'

Some people seem to do this naturally, others don't.

Most people can be taught or socialized or whatever you would like to call it.

Some people who can't do that can understand the math as was sort of outlined in A Perfect Mind that cooperation provides better individual returns than competition.

But if you're smart enough to figure that out, you're also probably smart enough to figure out that one person can get really rich at the expense of everyone else. Maybe the whole group wouldn't be as rich, but if all you really want is the power and privilege that wealth disparity brings, that wouldn't matter so much. Putin bringing himself up, by bringing down the West, is a nod in this direction.
