    1. Be big business
    2. Spend decades chasing profits using any means necessary.
    3. Make so much money that the average person can barely get by.
    4. Sell them the cheapest shit possible that they have no choice but to buy cause they’re poor as fuck.
    5. Have morons on the internet blame the average person instead of greedy corporations/billionaires/government.
    6. ???
    7. Profit!

      Feel free to skip step 6, there are no question marks. Every time someone blames consumers for the state of our planet, an oil magnate smiles while overlooking his fleet of luxury cars made out of silver.

      This is a kindergarten level understanding. Do you think evil megacorps overfish the ocean because they just feel like it? Or deforest millions of acres to graze cattle just because why the fuck not?
