Do you have any further reading on this? I'd love to learn more about how we got here
We got here through government inaction (or complicit, through lobbyists.)
The wealth class were buying more money from the future. We're now living in that future and all our money is disappearing into the pockets of the wealthy. Somehow this is an essential process in order for people to get anything done.
I first got exposed to the problem from this Adam Conover interview with Dan Olson: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4aU-QkJfgGw
This article is also a nice encapsulation of the problem, even though it focuses on financial technology only, it applies to other tech companies as well:

So buy very long puts on Chime is my take away from that Yahoo article.
Edit: Nevermind... Chime is still private. They keep pushing back their IPO because fintech stocks keep declining...
