@Guinnessy Yep. It's a market regulation problem—because late-stage actually-existing capitalism rewards predatory corporate incumbents who learn how to suborn or co-opt regulators to maximize profits, rather than adapting to changing conditions. Like, oh, climate change.

Our problems are mostly political, not technological. And the fix is to end the Friendmanite deregulation fetish that has set the agenda for politicians over the past half-century (since Chile in 1972).
