As F Scott Fitzgerald said in “The Great Gatsby”

“They were careless people…They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.” —Elon Musk

Typical corporate “cut to profitability” attitude coupled with extreme stupidity when he doesn’t understand what he’s looking at, so he says “that looks stupid” and cuts it. Doesn’t want to take any time to understand because cuts are easy, learning why things might be necessary even if you don’t like them at face value requires effort and nuance. Something conservatives aren’t interested in.
