Time and time again lately this issue comes up on HN as if it’s a single sector affected by the same umbrella of broken politics and broken system we have. It isn’t. It’s the same old, rinse and repeated. America’s evolution of the free market capitalism experiment has failed and became a plutocracy. That doesn’t mean free market as a whole doesn’t work but it means our version of its evolution has failed for a bunch of different reasons some more illogical and childish than others. The question is the same always too. How and when do we recognize it and start rebuilding it in a radically new way. Does it take a civil war? A world one? Does it take 99% poverty? Or does it just take for China to fail so we can’t have our mind numbing $5 electronics to keep us entertained. How do we all (myself included) become citizens of a nation again and not consumers in a luxury work camp who are kept pacified?
