> Capitalism holds neither employees nor noble missions in high regard.
That's because this isn't the goal of capitalism. The goal is growth and positive ROI through the use of private ownership of the means of production. Labor, like land and capital, are just an input to production in capitalism. And "noble missions" - whatever that means - are meaningless. They are subjective and have nothing to do with the economic system.

Populist bullshit. I'm happy companies like Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc. exist. They have made my life so much easier. One of the founders of JetBrains (IntelliJ, PyCharm) became a billionaire because they make spectacular products. Yes, these companies have issues, but welcome to reality: everything has issues. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
