Change is inevitable.

If you live in a capitalist society, everything will eventually become monetized.

Tech isn't the problem; monetization is.

    Monetization and commodification. Many things should be off limits to those cretins. Like healthcare and all types of insurance. (and food and shelter, but we've got to start with something, and healthcare is far more understandable to most)

    Here's something that gets overlooked.

    A big part of Ronald Reagan's 'deregulation' was letting third rate business people make lots of money. Toy companies could run half hour ads for products like Pokemon and Transformers. Federally insured S&Ls could make unlimited loans.

    When you look at things being awful, it almost always comes back to Reagan.
