And those are the three things where the price levels are increasingly out of reach. However we built those systems in the past, it’s failing us. And so we need to rethink. Quite literally, it’s like, okay, where are the schools? Where are the hospitals? Where are the houses?
The way these systems are assembled now is the more miserable failure, not the past.
Those institutions that remain successful are noticeably those that were actually built in the past, and worked even better until demand outstripped supply.
Working people can't afford that kind of thing or standard of living any more, so companies that want to survive can't afford to sell to or build things for average working people.
We just have to continue getting by on the remaining wealth left over from a time when greed, dishonesty, and predatory behavior were not as acceptable or prevalent.
