    Yay capitalism! I didn’t know how bad the industry is until I watched seaspiracy. Really a must see for fish lovers.

    use homomorphism and apply it to everything:

    interface Profitable {
          exploitable() --> bool
          can_organize() --> bool
    }
    
    let profitables: list[Profitable]
    
    for entity in all_things_on_earth {
        if entity.exploitable && !entity.can_organize {
            profitables.push(entity)
        }
    }
    
    profit += sell(exploit(profitables))
    capital += buy_all_you_can(profit) - (buy_politicians(profit))

      Missing the line:

      profit += subsidies_that_are_totally_not_hand_outs_when_we_get_them_but_are_if_you_do
      

      Fishing industry for instance:

      In fact, a 2018 study showed that without government subsidies, as much as 54% of high seas fishing grounds would be unprofitable at current fishing rates.

      […]

      Governments pay about $20 billion a year in damaging types of fisheries subsidies, primarily to industrial fishers, to offset costs such as fuel, gear and vessel construction.
