Capitalism boils down to "make as much money as possible, as quickly as possible, by any means possible". And when the people in power fervently pursue that goal, they often do a lotta dumb shit.

Some greedy cretins at Warner Bros. cancelled the release of Batgirl, a completed film and that cost $100 MILLION to make because they preferred the guarantee of a tax break over the uncertain chance of the movie being a financial success. A handful of rich big-brains thought "durr, movie in immensely popular franchise has chance of failing. that risk. RISK BAD! RISK BAD! CANCEL MOVIE TO PAY LESS TAXES INSTEAD!!!"

Dude, whatever is going on at Warner Bros seems like someone burning down the company for the insurance money, they've canceled so many projects that only RWBY, RWBYx Justice League, RWBY: Arrowfell and RWBY volume 9 are some of the few projects still in production now, they've turned their ire towards DC Comics recently, the Harley Quinn show might be getting the ax soon as well for these guys.

Sure, blame capitalism rather than the tax break was better odds for success than a crap movie, rather than the movie coming off like it would be a major loss.

I'm not saying that less toxic gaming journalists would lead to less toxic gamers. I'm just saying there's no proof to the contrary.

The tax break capitalists lobbied for so they could have more money for themselves is definitely not the fault of capitalism, no, of course not.

Capitalism doesn't make the people in power idiots, it makes idiots the people in power.

Businesses are legally mandated to do whatever makes the most money for their shareholders.

Businesses spending money is protected speech, but businesses refusing to spend money is not protected speech.

The entire country is a racket

In two years none of the people involved with these decisions at Discovery will even be at the company anymore.

Late capitalism is nobody caring about the future beyond the next quarter.
