Welllllll… I wouldn’t go as far as to ignore the entire chase in Bullitt. Nobody’s topped it yet, despite many, many attempts to do so. But yes, Schifrin’s music is amazing.

It should shatter the paradigms of the right/libertarians who believe corporations exist for profit. They observably do not.

You are correct. They do not. Modern giant corporations exist to leverage their scale and size in order to extract favours and benefits from the public, not to make a profit. They are very, very good at acting in such vampiric fashion.

We are no longer in an era of actual capitalism – if, indeed, we ever were. We are now in an era of something called bricolage, which is a pretentious French term for a “renter economy”. In other words, companies don’t produce actual useful good and services for people to consume, thereby increasing productivity and human potential. They merely rent out existing assets to extract rent, not produce things.

It’s a lot like eating the seed corn. This will work, for a while, but in the long-term, it’s a disaster.

One of the best title sequences in cinematic history with Lalo’s music was Bullit. You can cut the chase after that.
