Ha, the fallacy that deferring the correction (potentially indefinitely) makes the situation better? What if nothing disrupts their entrenched market position?

Ha, the fallacy that deferring the correction (potentially indefinitely) makes the situation better?
What if nothing disrupts their entrenched market position? What if it happens in 5 generations or more? Will you want to tell your grandchildren you were waiting for the problem to resolve itself while they now suffer the consequences?
What if, even worse, the disruption will not be a positive change but further race to the bottom?

- AstralStorm 9y agoConsumers, yes. But consumers are not everything to a business. How about, say, employees?
