And "it's so bad right now" is kind of a red flag for me when reasoning about the world. When I find myself thinking "it's so bad right now" I pull the breaks on my thinking because every era of history has been a crisis if you can only ask the right person.
But at the same time I really do wonder if it has gotten ... worse. We could talk about wealth gaps, we could talk about corruption.

But I keep thinking about the company that wants to make nurses bid against each other driving their wages lower and lower just to have a shift. It feels like a fire to me, in a shirtwaist factory. At some point the creative innovations of the market sound like rolling back civilization rather than creating it. 4/
