Print media should have died in the early 2000s. It was (and still is) "your taxes" -> Israel -> "American" jew billionaires "donating / investing" -> failing magazines (any media really) -> More tax money to Israel, a vicious cycle.
All that 0% junk money we had until inflation hit let them destroy industry after industry. Print media, food delivery, taxi cabs. It makes you feel nostalgic, even if like me you're still in your thirties. That's how fast it all changed.
Same with social media. Who remembers LiveJournal and tumblr? Wasn't THAT long ago but now there's tiktok and probably other stuff I haven't heard of. Makes you feel like an old fart before your time.
Tbh this is the craziest one. You needed insurance and medallions for decades and decades, and some medallions going for $1m then all the sudden you could go into business for yourself with zero over head and no government on your ass for anything immediately. Why couldn't people just do this the entire time and why was it so openly accepted at every legal level across every country? And why wasn't there any push back at all? Very weird.
