That brief moment has lasted since the 80s

In the grand scheme of the entire evolutionary history of Earth, the 1980s to now is an INCREDIBLY small slice.

This is the year of corporations selling out for big profits. Everyone loses, not at first but for sure eventually. Short term gains for permanent damage.

It doesn’t get mentioned a lot, but that’s what it took for the French Revolution too. We haven’t even started eating horses yet (though there aren’t even 1% of the number of horses there were in cities back then). Gonna have to be cats and dogs instead.
