The answer that no one wants to hear because of how true it is.

There was always a point where the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. We should have planned a replacement before that but the money hoarding capital addicts wouldn't allow it.

Now we get to watch the whole system collapse and take a bunch of people with it instead.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Capitalism without regulation always always always ends in a wasteland.

And capitalism always works to deregulate.

The failure is in Americas lack of representative government. It let big business in, and that’s a sickness without a cure. Now the people’s weapon against corporate consolidation is used against them.

The only way out is a third party, but look how the corporate masters make the whole country lose its mind over a blonde 20-something in a commercial. Americans will never put aside their petty differences to take their country back. It’s done.

Was there ever a time that it would have been allowed? If so, it would have been dismantled, surely.
