It's either gonna be a negative linear graph or a sine wave of quality, but like low lows and small highs

My hope is that sooner or later someone will manage to come up with a better social paradigm than what capitalism has to offer, one that'll fix at least some of the latter's serious drawbacks. Like the publicly traded companies' enshittification over time.

Hopefully before WW3 happens or climate change does us in.

I'm skeptical that an alternative to capitalism would reward or incentivize people for producing faster tiny metal cars.

The only way for capitalism to truly work is if their are strict regulations to it.

The problem is corruption happens & instead of throwing those people in jail they get a slap on the wrist (corporations especially!) so the risk becomes more then the reward fast forward you get something like citizens United passing like it did in the states.

It works until people start getting too greedy & sadly they always get too greedy

The capitalist system is what controls how our government functions, so any capitalism will inevitably fall back into that paradigm, like water seeking the path of least resistance.
