Well yeah. This is why we're calling end-stage capitalism. What's coming looks like technofeudalism.

All companies are rent-seeking. Selling something is no longer a goal.

Prices go up up up up up.

Oligopolies and price fixing is normal.

Monopolies are normal with little/no controls.

People are getting paid a pittance to the work done.

Unions are their weakest in a century.

NLRB is basically frozen due to no quorum on the head board.

Companies routinely scam and lie at multiple places in hiring pipeline. FTC does nothing.

Neither party (Republicans or Democrats), save the DSA, fights for the American people.

Its all coming to a head, and baskets, and guillotines. Anybody who studies history knows what kind of powderkeg this situation is. Its also the reason the Ancient Romans made panem et circunses (bread and circus) cheap or free. You get riots and revolts otherwise.
