It's over. The average person is a dumb mindless consumer that only becomes dumber as time goes on. Everything is commodified and engineered not necessarily to be a good product or offer a worthwhile experience but just to get money out of your pocket. Movies and video games are shit, your phone is spying on you, everything sucks.
Capitalism is dead. These massive and insanely powerful companies just sit on
I.Ps just to stop anyone from using them tech companies build an "ecosystem" to make sure they keep a monopoly. Any notion of innovation is dead it's all about squeezing every last penny out of the consumer.
The U.S. desperately needs another Theodore Roosevelt to bust up these megalithic tech companies and private equity firms like Black Rock.
