A good summary of the state of things. It's great to see the penny dropping for more people, and the different ways they each have of expressing that epiphany.

A good summary of the state of things. It's great to see the penny
dropping for more people, and the different ways they each have of
expressing that epiphany.
A couple of thoughts/criticisms:
"The Rot Economy" and "Enshitification" are different approaches to
describing terminal (self-devouring) stages of Capitalism which are
thoroughly examined in political sciences (eg. Marx, Sombart). We
have definitely entered that stage and things are accelerating far
beyond expectations. That road-map is valuable and I wish more people
had it in their toolbox of ideas/vocabulary.
> "it’s time to start holding those responsible accountable."
I disagree with this scapegoating. We are responsible. We are all
personally responsible. I am. You are. And never before in history
have we had so much power to exercise that responsibility.
I'm writing an extended series on this. If you're interested it starts
