There was a time when I was certain that this sort of people will inevitably see that money will not save anyone from anything.

You are wrong… they need to increase their profit margins even more, so they can afford the neccessary protection for themselves while they watch everyone else’s skin melt.
And it still won’t save them… the only way we’ll get through this is by working together.
