The economy has been stagnant since the 1970s. The only source of growth has been computers, a tiny number of firms captured it all, and Moore's Law is over. (It's after the gold rush, and the whole world is a mining town.)
If you were wondering why everything is collapsing into a scam and profiteering on necessity.
The fix, with greater urgency and more agricultural collapse, is what it was in the 1970s; move off fossil carbon and make/build for value.
Pity about those incumbents, isn't it?
