I’m really worried about the state of the US despite being a white male who was I’ll coast right through it. I’ll also accept “I don’t” and “very poorly” as answers

    You suck in 1998?

    The power that major tech companies weild combined with the addiction the vast majority of the population have to their products is telling me otherwise.

    If anything things have gotten worse. Used to have 6 different supermarket bands in my town, but despite population booming we’re now stuck with a duopoly that has 6 shops between them (Coles / Woolworths) and 1 minor left over (Aldi).

    That’s what I’m seeing as a 40+ Aussie that’s lived in the same town all that time.

      Gee sounds like you’re advocating for a fairer system of trade then.

        Absolutely.

        As convenient as Amazon is for example, how is it fair that one guy profits off the labour of tens of thousands.

        Just one example of how the internet has made some things worse, not better.
