It has been widely denounced and recieved severe criticism, so yes, capitalism will triumph once again when this "movie" gets little traction.


If it really gets little traction then it will be bad. If it gets enough views, it is good, and they have an incentive to repeat it. So sayeth our God, the almighty Dollar.

I'm not trolling. It's an unfortunate fact about our current state of affairs.

According to the right the only obligation a company has is to it's shareholders. Maybe if this was 1970 before Reagan ordered his administration to stop enforcing monopoly laws and stacked the supreme court to allow monopolies it would be different, but this has been the actual position of the American right and Republican party since Reagan and it's been enshrined in the legislation they've passed and opinions they've written.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_theft#Incidence

Nationally it is estimated that workers are not paid at least $19 billion every year in overtime and that in the US $40 billion to $60 billion in total are lost annually due to all forms of wage theft.
This compares to national annual losses of $340 million due to robbery, $4.1 billion due to burglary, $5.3 billion due to larceny, and $3.8 billion due to auto theft in 2012.

I can believe the other stats, but the wage theft would be a bit hard to gather info on that, I would think. I mean the only folk you could GET that info from would be disgruntled employees.
