Even though it's been decades I still occasionally get irrationally irritated at having to use American spelling when coding XD
Somewhat vaguely related, eldest and I were discussing how stupid the economy is. His specific thing was that people at the "bottom of the pyramid" such as primary producers weren't "valued" (making as much money) as people who did what he considered pretty useless things (in terms of basic human survival, he specifically mentioned investors and touched on management), and how fast everything would collapse if the farmers and all went you know what screw you guys we're going home and just stopped participating and went off and did their own thing.
I said I was kind of waiting for that to happen and then we talked about how to keep things in early stage capitalism and agreed that it was probably not possible.
The problem with that discussion was that it was in the car on a 10min drive and we hit our destination before we were able to expand on any ideas XD
It pains me!
Maybe it is. If everything was decentralized and had the ability to be opted out of, if any single entity got too controlling, people would just opt out, forking the use case to another who promises to do things more fairly. This is what happened with the move from steem to hive :)
We did also discuss how you could just switch to another economic (or anything really) model despite the desperate efforts (including legal shenanigans) that the old thing might put in place to try to maintain the status quo XD
