The meaning of "profitable" and "profits" needs to be more accurately defined, in my view. A great post – important ideas
I’m always amazed at an economic model that seriously believes in externalising costs and sees it as appropriate – so that others pay the ‘price’ of production in terns of health, pollution and general damage. The meaning of “profitable” and “profits” needs to be more accurately defined, in my view.

It always amazes/apalls me when people lose site of the big picture - trying to make the world a better place by taking care of it, its environs, and its people. I refuse to believe that the only way for economies to thrive is by taking full advantage of people and then JUSTIFYING it as if they're doing them a favor. At the end of the day, how can you sleep knowing that a)you subscribe to the belief that people deserve such treatment as opposed to human rights and b)you encourage others to see it as "right", and expect those exploited to be somehow grateful. It's ridiculous and repellent. Really well put, Nat, and I feel your frustration.
