  • Who gives a fuck about the economy imploding at the expense of the extinction of our species?
  • The 'economy' is made up nonsense to enrich the most morally bankrupt involved while shitting on everyone else.
  • The death of our planet's ecosystem is a real possible future we are facing; let the economy burn.

    Well if we're so bad, maybe it's good that we go extinct?
    The economy just is a part of society and is the way we organize resources. The way our capitalist society works, money naturally keeps moving upwards and screwing the poor - it needs strong regulation to work in a way that is beneficial for most people. Canada is better than the U.S. there. But there are realities that require society (and the economy) to continue to operate in such a way that allows the country to provide for its citizens. If the economy burns and society collapses, which you seem to want, then there will not be resources available to support the people. And any semblance of regulation that keeps lawful order and social safety nets will fail. And at that point likely some group will take over and then do whatever they want - without any regulation. So probably worse for the ecosystem.
