The economy doesn't care what people aka consumers want anymore. At shareholder insistence of sabotaging the future for a short term stock boost, they merge, buy, and consolidate to eliminate competition, lay off their talent crippling that sector's ability to provide the product/service they existed to provide in the first place, and laugh all the way to the bank offering broken, useless shadows of once useful products/services because where else you gonna go? We ate the ones that made superior products and put a stop to that bullshit!

The ultimate goal of capitalism is to end competition. This is the terminal stage. The nowhere left to grow/metastasize fire sale before their grift collapses, with it's tentacles gripping captured world government's throats, ready to take them with them as it perishes and the winners run away to their global havens and bunkers, mischief managed, wealth of nations siphoned, pillaged, and stolen.

Fucking Suckers.
