https://www.derekthompson.org/p/if-americas-so-rich-howd-it-get-so Why is it hard to figure out why Americans are so unhappy? We’re living in a society where we’re being gouged out of every cent every minute of the day to make a few billionaires richer. We’re destroying the environment to make a few billionaires richer. Every minute of our lives and ever social interaction we have are surveilled and monetized to make a few billionaires richer. And then economists tell us how great the economy is doing. What bullshit. The answer to why American are so unhappy is simple: late stage capitalism.
