    Traditional Capitalism:
    You have two cows.
    You sell one and buy a bull.
    The herd multiplies and your bank account grows.
    After a while there is nothing to eat but beef and nothing to drink but milk.
    A lot of people can’t afford either.
    The planet is knee-deep in cow shit.
    Everyone is fine with this for some reason.

    A German corporation

    You have two cows.
    The government fines you for not having a “Rauhfutterverzehrendegroßvieheinheitsgenehmigung”.
    You sue the government, you win your case.
    The government has the case reviewed. It winds it’s way through all levels of courts until the Bundesverfassungsgericht.
    You win again.
    The cows have died from neglect.
