Metal_DK 05/11/17 8:38:33 PM #44:	Kyuubi4269 posted... Do you think Trump is a unique phenomena? He's not, society has simply eroded enough to allow a piece of shit daddy's boy with no concept of reality get power by throwing money and screaming "'MURICA!". Trump like figures becoming president have never happened in american history.... Kyuubi4269 posted... There's no economic frontier because cash is pooling up in a few people's pockets more and more disproportionately over time and the ultra rich are ultimately focused on oneupsmanship, not innovation. The general public default to the internet as it's cheap entertainment. People simply haven't got the disposable income to take on personally gratifying projects, if people had 20th century affluence then you would see 20th century progression, until then we have to suffer convenient social blame shifting and capitalistic oligarchy. Agreed that cash is pooling up, but consolidation of our lifestyle has caused the cash pooling up. For example, having everything on your smartphone (camera, music player, day planner, alarm clock) causes fewer companies to have more power. Also most economic frontiers start small. Really fucking small. We all know stories of apple starting in a garage (or a very small building or whatever) and what not. The problem is complexity of innovation is a lot larger in todays world than even as recent at the 50s/60s/70s/80s/90s. --- Casual Revolution 2007 - 2016 <cite>Metal_DK posted [p:878927609] in Seriously ...
