Certainly true. But we desperately need for capitalism to show a little more regard for people and society.
Saving/making $$$ at the expense of others is *not* a design feature of capitalism. Sure, it has grown to that, but it never should have. And I don't think it would have if Communism was still a factor. But the Communists that are left have found the way to have a few of them get richer while they exploit the rest. We are moving very fast in the same direction.

By the way, Dmitry, you have to be careful with that word "socialist" in the U.S. of A. It has been engrained in people there that socialist == socialized and that socialized is therefore the absolute worst idea in the whole wide world.
