Answering genuine question about all the things that are going wrong in our society and economy with a glib "it's late-stage capitalism, what did you expect?" is like answering "why is this old man dying" with "he's old and unhealthy, what did you expect?"

You still want details. You still need to understand the hows and whys—the proximate and near proximate causes even if the ultimate cause is abundantly clear.
