I'm all for capitalism, but if a crisis really existed how does money aleviate that crisis?

money can be exchanged for goods and services  |
And do the people to whom you give your money turn around and give it to corporations to buy these scrubbers of which you speak? betcha not. |
Not only that, the devil is in the definitions. Do they include
everything? Such as the gas people used to get to the concert, the power and pollution caused to advertize it? The trash it generated? I wonder...
