Microsoft is the best example we have of crony capitalism in the western world.

The whole thing is a sorry reflection on what little initiative a lot of people really have. It wins by being the natural, lazy default the success of windows is for no other reason than it was pre-programmed on the device.

And I'm glad the rush of human ingenuity since 2008 has given us better cars, better phones and better technology - as well as Aldi. This has all come following decades of silliness and decadence.

Sink or swim is emerging from the floaters of the late 20th century mill pond.
