ive said this before but we have min-maxed our economy to optimize for profit. We may be entering the reaping phase of that now.
its the same reason we cant make enough artillery shells for ukraine or onshore chipmaking or build ships.

Expanding the scope beyond the economy, one could certainly make the claim that the Age of Consequences is upon us, and that William Gibsons "Jackpot" isn't far off either. We're increasingly and collectively impacted by the fallout from decades of bad decisions.

I really don't like thinking about the decades to come and what kind of world our grandchildren will have.
