    Unfortunately the inevitable enshitification of our lives by capitalism will continue, even if we remove it from our lives as much as we are able.

    What microsoft does to its products, it also does to our governments and civil liberties, social media does to society and democracy, data brokers do to privacy, zillow does to housing security, wallstreet does to economic mobility and financial regulations, etc, etc, etc.

        The twin towers made a ton of sense:

        • lots of people in a small area
        • symbol of America’s dominance of trade
        • iconic buildings in the heart of perhaps the most iconic American city

          yep, and tons of other reasons, too. i agree with everything you said, but i say that the largest contributor might sound a bit controversial… it all comes down to “kids these days”. or maybe not, but i still think it’s a major component.

          edit - i forgot to mention that ‘kids these days’ goes back as far as written time
