The Dogma of this form of capitalism is very clear now in every day people, now everything needs to be monetized and you are sinning if you aren't making any money. It is wild.

Yes! Great point. I think you’re right that this indoctrination and dogma is becoming more obvious to the public

Yeah, the philosophy of money-making has permeated all of society. It is particularly negative to see it in people who are poor and behave as if they were rich, defending politics that affect them. I see it in the US, but in many other countries, too. It is the triumph of propaganda for the "lack" of a God with good, empathetic values.

They all by and large understand the need for regulations. So perhaps I missed your point

I remember when the clown Greenspan kept spouting how “productive” the workforce was. I figured out it was because the worker was working longer and getting paid less. No wonder you can’t get ahead. And Wall Street? What a joke. Nicholas Talib explained everything in “Fooled by Randomness.” (And other writings) Wall Street is a freaking crap game played with loaded dice.
