and yet, capitalism is crumbling, being replaced by technofeudalism, with all the enshittification that this brings with it. it had a strong run, it took the rentists a couple of centuries to reorganize, but here they are. if we survive, we may have another shot, as the exploited "enterpreneurs" and their delivery bikes may choose to unite with other exploited workers instead of going their own way.
it's a bit like the asteroid that gave mammals a chance to grow
