20 years later it reassembled itself, like an ancient evil from a fantasy series. The fate of the world rests upon a weeaboo forum made up of lazy NEETS to stop it from regaining the last 2 pieces and taking over the world.
Other ways deregulation fucked everything up: energy crisiseses despite energy being easy to ge- ooops, brand new energy plant is on downtime despite being funded by the city to pick up the slack.
Also radio/TV/newspapers started being bought up by a few companies. IT's part of why music has gotten worse since the 90s and most websites/news stations repeat the same message.
In short, it's why DC/WB is in such a shit state. You had a telecommunication company trying to figure out what to do with a creative company and then offloading it to a reality tv network who also has no idea what to do with it, because no one can stop companies from eating each other up anymore.
