capitalism
A thing that bugging me lately, that within the capitalist worldview, the things worth doing are measured by profitability.
As a result things such as feeding the hungry or improving quality of life are either done when rent can be extracted, as a marketing stunt (billionaire "philanthropists"), or not done at all.
The death toll of this ideology is incomprehensible to me - on a daily, let alone long time scope.
