He didn’t want to die, but that didn’t stop him from wanting to make more money while undermining his own survival. Basically they were making fun of the self destructive, profit over everything else and infinite growth at all costs philosophy of capitalism and corporate culture. I think the writers’ intention was for him to be the personification of capitalism.
Yeah that’s what I figured. I was just confused because he doesn’t save his own skin like any IRL capitalist would. But if he’s supposed to be a personification of capitalism as a system it makes sense
I don’t remember this part and I don’t quite get it. Is it that he doesn’t even care if he dies as long as he makes more money?

Yeah, again I didn’t remember the plot of the episode this was from but it makes sense to me now
Doesn’t he? After essentially destroying the cure he freezes himself so he can survive.
He kinda tries but his short-sightedness dooms him anyway
The capitalists will even sell you the rope that hangs them.
