Today as this post tries to discuss, there are many who are trying to grab a few more percentages. I believe this shows we have already lost.
Its the same reason there is a housing crisis, because the system is stressed to the limits, and the rules of the game, which we cannot change but simply ride out are broken.
Traffic, cars & transport are another example where more roads & tunnels or trains or some other moving vehicle system never win because we have hit a limit. Moving lots of people many many kilometers across town and all that is broken. Its a fundamental waste of time.
We are farming record amounts of food, and yet farmers are going broke, because the more you grow the less you get paid. I will skip all the other food supply problems and consequences.
