    This is one example of the many pathologies and abject failures of capitalism. Stephanie Pullman was not some random thing. She was a person. She mattered to people. People mattered to her. Nothing short of a shift towards anarcho-communism will really save both humanity and the beautiful planet we live on. Capitalism is parasitic, amoral, and greed driven. Why else do we see virtually no improvement in mental health medications and the cost for generics of 30+ year old ones priced to the point where one almost needs to make a choice between rent and food or stable mental health.
