Lol it's gonna take a lot more than "reigning in corporate capitalism". Let's be honest, it's going to take completely restructuring human society. Capitalism will either have to be abolished somehow or it'll kill us, period.

There's no form of capitalism that will fix this. Anyone who insists otherwise is reiterating Technocrat propaganda.
It's been brought up before, but "mitigated" or "adapted for" are more realistic terms to use than the absolute and unrealistic "countered". Let's not water down the initial two parts calling for action and alarm by trying to sell a happy solution.
