Fixing society doesn't increase revenue. The opposite, actually.

For example: The more people are depressive, the more pills can be sold. If people kill themselves due to depression, that's too bad, but they didn't buy any pills to begin with.

Diabetes is great, because people depend on insulin. A never-ending money maker! Fat people are great! They eat more, thus spend more! Some of them get their fat surgically sucked out of their bodies, which also pays! When they get more and more sick, they need more and more medicine, which pays even more!

The transhumanism movement is awesome, because transitioned people require pills! Every day!

Sadness? There's a pill for that!

Drug addicts? Lets invent a vaccine for that!

Fantastic!

Society isn't getting fixed, because nobody actually has any interest in that. Those in power/money certainly don't give a fuck and rather want more money, while the actual people are mostly too stupid to figure out that the whole system needs changing.

Instead they whine, complain and protest and go voting, without realizing that it does basically nothing. Yes, voting actually does nothing. We didn't get to this point because voting helps anything. We got here, because voting doesn't matter.

Decades of evidence lay in front of everyone out there to see, yet for some reason every couple years people actually believe their button-pressing/their X-making actually gives them power over what's going to happen!

There's no vote allowing you to change who pays all the money to the politicians, law makers and judges. There's no vote that allows you to change the underlying corruption that's going on. There's no vote that enables you to decide what actually happens with your money.

You're fucking hilarious. You're not wrong per se, but also hilarious.

"Society needs fixing!!!111" well then get together with enough people and fucking fix it.

Politicians won't do it for you.

Better get your guns ready, btw, because it's definitely not going to happen peacefully.
