Super ultra real to me, confirms what feels like the late state of play. Super hard to get stuff started when life everywhere feels so damned expensive. So new value fails to take root & start. And- here's a little more of a gyess- the systems that be ossify.

If everything was already cheap and plentiful, it would be differently hard to find a compelling new value case. “Your margin is my opportunity” as one prominent modern businessman has said. If things are expensive or difficult for other consumers, it doesn’t take much for them to divert some of their resources to cheaper and/or better substitutes. If you’re in the business of providing that, it’s far better for you for the world to be too expensive than too cheap.
