The greed is baked into capitalism, though, because it's fundamentally baked into humanity. This is what happens with the unregulated pursuit self interest, and that's what capitalism encourages.
Because markets inherently aren't "free". Real competition is an illusion because capitalism doesn't account for all the non-capitalist levers (e.g regulatory capture, cronyism, collusion, political lobbying, etc) that businesses will pull to serve their own interests.
Capitalism is an incredibly naive approach to economics because its ability to account for human behavior -- the fundamental driver of economic systems -- is rudimentary at best. And that's just one of its problems, really.
Alabamaian here. We're mostly all pissed at this clown. Alabama was a front runner to get the space Force command from Colorado. Recently the Biden administration elected to keep it in Colorado. The local scuttlebutt was this move was at least partially retaliation for Tuberville's nonsense.This angered a lot of big money interests in Alabama, especially in Huntsville, which is a city built off the back of the military industrial complex.
Tuberville fucked around and will likely find out on this one. My guess is big money interests will at least attempt to primary him with a more .... coachable.... republican candidate.
