The market does not regulate everything, not least because the incentive in #capitalism is to make money and not to make the world a better place. #pollution #environment #WaterCompaniesUK bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Verbal #Violence and violent messaging on #socialmedia leads to physical violence. Such attacks on #asylum seekers, many of which are genuine and will be granted asylum, should not happen in a civilised society. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

A disregard for the judiciary is a disregard for democracy. In a #democracy everyone is subject to and bound by the #law. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The incentive in #capitalism is to make money, not the world a better place. Hence, private companies must be regulated to balance the pursuit of profits with the common good. Would it not be nice if making the world a better place was rewarded? #economy bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
