• Capitalism

    noun

    An economic system where a corporation can legally evaluate the cheapest option between recalling a product with a life-threatening defect versus handling lawsuit settlements.


    Macy: "I heard about the car fire. Crazy!"
    Edward: "Yeah, I know. I work for that company."
    Macy: "So are you folks recalling the cars?"
    Edward: "Nah. We did the math. A recall would cut into Q3 profits! It's cheaper to settle."
    Macy: "What!? Profits over people?"
    Edward: Shrugs "Capitalism, baby!"
