Okay, but what’s the end game? Do they think that things will shift to a distopian future where everyone lives in their metaverse?
Also, I find it ironic that you have a Reddit NFT which are all sitting at like a 10k floor right now, no?
ETA: TIL not all of the hexagon shaped avatars are NFTS

I’m sorry in advance that I’m not sure how to format as well as you.
I did not mean to imply any value judgment on the covid restrictions, merely stating they heavily favored the Titans of the industries and Greatly hindered the smaller companies.
You mentioned capital and capitalism as an unending movement toward monopolization. Are you implying that inherently fiat money and capitilsm always end at a monopoly? If so can you elaborate as to why you think that?
I really enjoy this discussion so I apologize if you’re picking up a negative tone but if I understood correctly, I don’t think I agree with this.
We use fiat money along with changing rates to control both the supply and the worth.
As for capitalism, ultimately there hasn’t been any company that’s infallible through time. Even something like Amazon isn’t infallible. So on the side of the companies, I don’t think theres any proof of a company that’s lasted long enough to accumulate to the point of true monopolization.
Id be much more inclined to agree if there was a finite amount of money.

Covid made things so much worse in that regard. Forced all the smaller business to shut down while letting the bigger ones stay open.
Ppp loans galore to the biggest companies.
An absurd amount of mom and pop + smaller franchises shut down.
In other words, the governments of the world basically ensured everything is monopolized.

While this is true, almost every big company gets monopoly lawsuits both nationally and internationally. Just part of being the head of the industry.

The show should’ve been named, “The real housewives of kings landing”
So much drama not nearly enough sex or violence.
So many downvotes but you know I’m right.
