If we wanted to, sure. I mean, we like you and me want to, but we have no say. We were also supposedly "best positioned to manage a pandemic" and just look how that turned out. I know I'm not saying anything particularly novel here, but the capitalist response to covid has been a trial balloon for the capitalist response to climate change, and the results are pretty grim. As long as there's more profit to be made at the top by monetizing the rot, the problems will never be addressed.
