And it'd be easy to say the trite "capitalism" blame.
But there aren't any better alternatives. History has tried them all. We haven't got to anything better (and by better I mean more fair) yet.
But sure as shit, it's crumbling and dying at the moment, as it's being morphed into something else.
In the end, the issue is that all systems are exploitable and all systems lean to concentrated power. It's the rate of it that makes the difference, and how realistic it is to change.

I'm evolved to be chilling with a small group of friends and family, doing a little hunting, mostly going on walks and seeing pretty landscapes and eating off the plants as I go. The most stressful thing is supposed to be seeing a wolf in the distance - there, and gone. Over in a minute, and back to normal. Not... this psychological hellscape we seem to have manufactured for ourselves. Isolated within crowds, everything an uncertainty, little in our control, too much to know and understand.
