capitalism, Grannies, political plays

Business theory and practice has gone from "profit
from providing goods, services, and employment for the benefit of the
community" to "profit, period". ...Money laundering, outsourcing, fake "charities" that hire relatives
or politicians as staff & consultants, subcontractors who hire
illegal immigrants, bribes, biased science-for-hire, pyramid scheme
accounting... we've developed an economy that rewards and admires
Great Predators.

Where are the plays that address this?

No American who can afford the price of a theatre ticket wants to hear it! No actor, who lives on optimism, voice-overs, and table scraps, wants to perform agitprop. I'm getting too old and it's too bloody cold to do Street Theatre!
I've got a snappy little 10 minute play about the maternity wear chain that fires employees who get pregnant that I've been sending around. Guess where the theatre is that found the script on my web site and finally did the premiere? Uganda!
I am at work on a Raging Granny play -- Social Security can free a body to make a fuss. Probably why the Administration is determined to gut and cut SS.
