At this current moment it feels as though we'd have to somehow snatch survival from the jaws of the changing climate. We've pissed away so much time that our rope dangles freely within its bite range. From my point of view, the torch will have to be passed to the squatters in the ruins.
But who will think of the shareholders? They're the real victims.
Shareholders are the faceless masses. Ever since pensions were tongue-punched into oblivion and replaced with 401ks the average folk are the shareholders. Stake shareholders are who you are thinking of, and while they drive the shitty decisions, regular ol' Beth & Martin down the way are also driving enshittification. They want line to go up, too. Because it means more money in their retirement. This entire system is a self defeating, vicious cycle unless you're rich.
Well damn. A fair and nuanced explanation. On the internet, no less. Hadn't thought about that before. Gonna have to readjust some opinions.
