Think about it. Capitalism is awesome if you’re the one who started it. 30-50 years later, its fuck everyone else.
All the great tech innovations happened early on and peaked many years ago. Anything innovative now doesn’t pay, so its onto the grift and theft of data, wages, etc.
I agree that there is an upside to capitalism,but by now it has overstayed its welcome and the downsides are starting to outweigh the upsides. To be fair though,we haven’t really got an easy alternative.
We really should be transitioning to a socialist UBI system, because soon there’s not going to be enough jobs out there, and we have enough tech that people only need to work 15 hours a week to keep stuff running. 45 hours a week is ridiculous and unsustainable.
It’ll never happen though.
