Huh. So the legacy of "worse is better" from the old Gen X days is starting to bite us in the ass due to the authenticity tax it represents when combined with an increasingly ossified corporate business structure that sees maximization of value extraction and minimization of cost(via maximized automated sampling of the environment) as the primary KPI rather than delivering increases in QoL through good service/quality goods to customers at good prices, good treatment and working conditions for workers, and maintaining good relationships with suppliers and business partners?
