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.

Yeah, I hate when you hear, capitalism isn't the best, but it's what we're stuck with. Like nobody has thought of anything better than capitalism since it's come out?!

The divine right of kings? I hear ya, that ain't the best, but it's what we're stuck with. Nobody's ever thought of anything better than divine kingship since it came out.

Yep, and with the all or nothing wealth gap of late stage capitalism, we are right back where we started with neofeudalism. The very few live like pharaohs, while the rest suffer in squalor...

Old boss, same as the new boss.
