The ultimate goal of market capitalism is to end competition.

Just ask Walmart, and Amazon, and HBODiscoveryWarnerBlahBlahBlah, and all the other self-cannibalizing market sectors, basically all of them, killing competition so they can enshittify their formerly acceptable products and gouge for the privilege because fuck you, where else you gonna go? If someone builds a better mouse trap, they'll buy it and kill it.

This is terminal stage market capitalism on display, with no new markets to exploit and rape to make kids manufacture plastic shit for ten cents an hour, as our very habitat buckles under the weight of our owner's unquenchable avarice.

And no, we won't find salvation on Mars or Titan as some of the capitalists claim. Believe it or not, our insatiable need to grow/metastasize is the root cause of most of our problems.

Homeostasis with the paradise we inherited should have been humanity's business.
