Decisions in boardrooms often sacrifice the health of the majority of people, animals and plants in order to create additional wealth for the owners of corporations.
For Example: Offshore oil drilling will increase profits for oil companies but cause oil spills that harm the environment. The owners of oil companies often live in Connecticut or downtown Manhattan NYC and it makes no difference at all to them if the beaches in Los Angeles have black goo on them. The laws about automobile air pollution protect the lungs of people that breathe air but corporate greed freaks often live in air-conditioned offices and homes that have filtered air that removes the pollution...
They believe that the solution to global warming is to turn up the air conditioner so that their offices always remain at 72 degrees... If it's 110 degrees in Harlem or Queens it's simply not important to people that make decisions on Wall Street.
However, Hurricane Sandy disrupted the lives of rich and poor. When the streets flooded, Limo-Man couldn't ride in his Limo. We see that already there are civil engineering plans for building dikes around lower and mid-town Manhatten to prevent rising sea levels from flooding. Good luck with THAT, masters of the universe... New Orleans has dikes too... but sometimes they fail... like during Hurricane Katrina. Maybe a better plan would be to stop burning gasoline in cars and build more solar and wind power plants to charge electric cars...
How much wealth is enough? Can there be a balance between corporate profit and quality of life for the people? What is the point of getting another Billion Dollars once you already have One Billion? Where is the MOTIVATION?
What IF we could teach corporate greed freaks to behave differently? It's A Question of Balance...

In My Humble Opinion...
Coronavirus is Natures Way of FIXING the Problem of Human Overpopulation.
Currently we have Way Too Many People Alive on Earth... THAT'S Why we have Traffic Jams... That's why we have Really Expensive Houses... That's Why We Have Global Warming... and Climate Change...
SO...
Another Alternative is to Make Abortion and Birth Control FREE Worldwide... Many People Will Choose to NOT Have Children... or to Have Smaller Families...
OR...
We Can Increase The Number of People DYING...

Malthus’ Principle of Population caused Darwin to rethink many issues while coming up with his theory of natural selection. Malthus’ work made Darwin realize the importance of overpopulation and how it was necessary to have variability in different populations. Darwin also used Malthus’ ideas to use competition as well as the survival in numbers idea to come up with his full idea of natural selection.
