I think I both high-level understand general sort of market economics and hate it in a lot of ways. And I don't know if this is obvious to everyone or people figure it out at different rates, but the rise of DEI like perfectly mapped the constraints in the labor market.
Basically if companies need labor, human rights, salaries, work culture all improve, if they don't. Well.
I'm not like fundamentally a socialist, and again, sort of the growth in the economy certainly led this, but it really felt like the post-war culture was very focused on what we could build together.

That’s looking only at the supply side and ignoring the demand side. Sure, founders might not need laborers - but they still need buyers. If nobody has a job, where does the money come from to buy products and services? Nowhere. The whole system collapses for everyone. Economic collapse leads to monetary collapse, and even your millions won’t save you. You may "own" things, but only as long as you can defend them. See where this goes?
