        I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted when you’re right. Whole lobby groups exist for the right to keep polluting, food deserts exist, anti-vax groups have taken over american healthcare so measles and smallpox are coming back, some people don’t think poor kids deserve a school lunch and there are multiple ongoing water crises caused by irresponsible capitalism.

        Capitalism creates more demand on resources across the board, including healthcare. It also increases waste since resources aren’t used to their full potential when it’s not profitable, so yes, there are ways to reduce garbage.
