As a programmer, you see a lot of "technical debt" and occasionally technical reaches the point it can no longer be paid and a company just abandons a product. It seems like what we're seeing now is something like a massive accumulation of moral and organizational "debt" to the point that organizations easily escape it. You've had accumulation of companies that only know how to manage by abuse, that lie to everyone, including themselves, about what's reasonable to expect for people. They've dug themselves a hole and the only way they know to get out is to dig deeper.
