Original Message
Claim: The system of profits must be eliminated. Profit-making is incongruent with solving problems. It is always a conflict of interest.
There is little profit in actually SOLVING a problem, rather it's more profitable to perpetuate problems, even to create new ones, so that "solutions" can be offered, for profit. When problems are solved, the profits associated with the problem disappear.
Therefore, there is no incentive to solve problems.
We can no longer afford the perpetuate the appearance of trying to solve problems, when in fact the real agenda is quite the opposite.
