Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.

    You’re confusing economic systems with systems of government.

    I’m interested to hear how you explain the drive to create streaming as an option to cable without including tenets of a market driven economy.

    Reddit/Lemmy/Etc really has a hard-on to blame all bad things on capitalism. Capitalism is amoral. It is cold and uncaring. But not recognizing it as a driving factor for growth, innovation and societal advancement is a path of willful ignorance.

    Everything has pros and cons in life.
