The current situation reminds me of how far we've come from old ideals of delaying gratification today in order to have more later. It seems like this ideology has been corrupted into a short-sighted "Establish a monopoly position as soon as possible at all costs, don't worry about tomorrow." It's ironic because monopolizing a sector by investing heavily and suppressing profits used to be a long term move but it seems to have become a short term move as investors are racing each other.
