 "...told Tkacik, "a long and proud 'safety culture' was rapidly being replaced... with 'a culture of financial bullshit.'" In other words, #enshittification. Great article.  |
@taylorlorenz I often think about the phrase "cut-rate capitalism” as a way describe how consumer/price driven capitalism conflates costs with value, in that any lower cost is value. The thing is value is as much a function of quality as it is cost. A thermometer that isn't accurate is of no value, not matter the cost.
