    I think it mostly means that the mega-multi-national companies are defeating and swallowing up their competition.

    Probably due in large part because of globalism plus the crony capitalism that most countires practice.

    the consequences of crony capitalism is a worthy thread in itself. one can ask is crony capitalism the step before an economy evolves unto statism or socialism or chaos or is it some dastardly combination to be known piezoeism.
     
  4. I was watching one of those shows on msnbc, and the token conservative used the word "fascism" and the whole rest of the left wing panel laughed
     
  5. One Amazon is worth a few hundred small companies.
     
  6. I guess you could say increasingly, I am becoming an anarchist. Meaning, I don't want the "corporation" controlling government, but I also don't want the "people" controlling government. I just want the government to be the referee
     
  7. Just saw an ad for a Stallone and De Niro boxing movie. Lack of innovation isn't just in business. Where are the big new action stars? The big TV shows? Arena bands? Everything is suffering from lack of innovation, other than tiny internet companies with funny names.

    INVENTION FIRST

    THEN

    INNOVATION

    AND

    GENERALIZATION

    ALL TOGETHER CAN = TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION

    OF WHICH I BELIEVE THERE HAVE BEEN THREE

    SINCE MAS//MENOS 1800

    LAST ONE KICKED IN AROUND 1943


    AND HAS FADED -- MORE RECENT ITC TOO LIMITED

    SHIFT TO PRACTICAL FUSION MIGHT DO IT BUT

    MIGHT NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHIN LATE CAPITALISM

    only thing feedin capitalism is increase in population.

    innovations enable more human species.

    I think this is on reversal as not many people see future in eating GM food, pollution of air, sound, view and shrinking space.

    not much left to run...
     
  10. Shrinking space?? Who told you that lie? :D

    Do you know that you can put the entire planet in a small country like Yugoslavia, and still get a density of population like New York City?

    Please, stop believing freaking TV and mainstream media.
