Isn't this the entire point of capitalism and the privatization of critical services and infrastructure ?
All companies exist to make money, that is absolutely all there is to it. So they're making more money by jacking up prices as far as they can to make...more money. In the US, this will continue until it can't anymore...it will happen things like food, electricity, healthcare, education, infrastructure. The only thing that could stop is might be government intervention, but the politicians are bought too now, so maybe direct civil disobedience would be the only other thing that might bring on a change.
I think all economic and political systems have pros and cons. They all are subject to corruption and greed as well. The problem isn’t capitalism alone, but corruption and greed as well. We’ve reached the point where those at the top are blaming everything but their own greed for the problems the rest of the world is dealing with. Scurvy is going to make a comeback and the rich are going to blame it on laziness and a lack of hard work. History repeats itself.
