    Despite capitalism, companies used to diversify or improve their products when they were no longer selling. Now they’re forcing people to buy them anyway by bribing politicians and either being in cahoots with or buying up competitors.

      You can only grow so much doing things good that eventually you need to start doing bad in order to have higher profits than the previous year. Early stage capitalism looks pretty good; late stage capitalism is pure shit.
