phryk 🏴@rysiek I think the basic mechanic here is that any cost that is externalized is a net profit.
This is why companies lobby so hard to not be held accountable – they want to keep externalizing any costs they can.
Same applies to environmental and health damages and many, MANY other things.
IMO probably *the* central mechanic of how wealth (whether monetary, environmental or any other kind) is siphoned off from society in general and moved to barely a couple hundred obscenely rich people.
