Unfettered capitalism is Amazon inflating its prices on essential items by as much as 1000% during the pandemic while Jeff Bezos refuses to provide sick leave to his warehouse workers.
But they’re making money and who would claim that profiting off a pandemic is bad, hmmm....

Capitalism, free market, individual liberty, unalienable rights, and more, were all pretty much fettered during the lockdowns. Some crony capitalists did well, a whole lot of smaller businesses were destroyed.

Sadly it became necessary due to this administration letting this virus get out of control and with death tolls on the way to 300,000 or fearless leader continues the messaging that exacerbated the problem from the beginning, even when he knew the facts up front. But wait I’m confused a DeBarr stated the economy was making a robust recovery, is that only for the few and the small get screwed. Conflicting messaging how can this be?

This isn't about the ability of some to make money its Pandemic 'Profiteers'
We taxed war profits , this once again is more corporate socialism
Its funny to see conservatives attack immigrants for stealing jobs not paying taxes
But when corporations and business make billions , and these profits never are shared with employees via pay or health care, what do conservative say to employees find another job if you don't like your pay, and they praise the companies for making money and for not paying taxes
