Capitalism isn’t “when people get paid for working.” And people getting paid for doing a job isn’t the problem highlighted in this post. In any case, there are any number of ways people might be motivated to do something useful.
This problem goes beyond capitalism. Even in a communist, socialist, anarchical, or whatever system you have to figure out a way to get people to spend a good portion of their lives doing things they don’t typically want to do.
In this case how do you get hundreds of people to continue working at these power grid companies if they’re in the red and eventually run out of money? People won’t stay around without a paycheck.
