From America's horrific response to COVID, to Climate Denial to the unqualified, purchased, and rapist judges on the US Supreme Court, if there was EVER an anti-christ in these modern times it is hands down Charles Koch of Koch Industries (better luck next next year Jamie Dimon and Hillary Clinton):
“How Koch Industries, Fake Scientists, and Rush Limbaugh Invented Climate Denial
A new book, "The Petroleum Papers", goes inside a 1991 conference whose goal was to make people doubt climate change is real.”

“Supermarkets have enlisted staff to protect expensive cuts of meat due to increased shoplifting sparked by the cost-of-living crisis, according to a new report.”

Having essential goods and services provided by for-profit private enterprises raises the basic cost of living at the very least by the cost of the profit margin that a non fascist govt would never charge.
What’s more, the profit motive from one of these goods and services almost always results in a decrease in the value and/or quality of the good and service being provided as cost cutting accrues as excess profits to private owners. Claims of efficiency gains offsetting invariably prove to be bullshit and don’t offset price increases:
“Absolutely nothing should be sold for a profit if its absence could kill you.
Any modern system where people still die from lack of these resources should be dismantled.”
