Part of the issue is also the hoarding of resources. Instead of investing it back into new markets and advances, corporations are simply letting the resources accumulate. This kills growth as there is little to no incentive to continue purchasing more services and products so things tend to stagnate over time. It also does harm to general society. We’re also reaching an oversaturation of similar companies and products. This is actually a relatively recent trend. A hundred years ago, there were only a handful of large corporations, so they were better able to advance their market as resources were more concentrated. As it was early days, they were focusing a lot on production advancements such as conveyor belts and factory automation. We need to focus more on the people than on the hunt for profits. Society will be much happier. If the world as a whole combines its resources, it will help make up many regional shortcomings but I don’t see that happening anytime soon sadly.

I recently found Beth’s gear store (surprised I didn’t know about it earlier) and wound up getting a Fallout themed backpack. It’s really nice!
