It seems obvious, but the economy seems different nowadays, I know, duh. Everybody seems to be their own contractor and the once solid businesses where we used to work are now just mostly gone and if they are still around chances are they have been bought out by some private equity firm that will put yet another company out of its misery and into the dustbin of history.

Everybody's earnings curve simply looks like a one hump camel, the burbs are cluttered with one off businesses that have trailers that attach to their cars, kind of any business to go, sometime there's enough home businesses around to make parking nearby a chore as all space available on the streets are sucked up by someone's home business.

Cha cha changes for sure. So no longer do larger businesses seem to exist as an economic backbone, rather, the whole flipping work scene seems a la carte. Everyone or lots have morphed into some kind of gig worker, they say they are this, that, or some other worker type but really we have become something of a commodity with a name, Human Resource, and the oracle that instructs us all is corporate HR and their rolodex of boiler plate noises. Basically we are no longer in the corporation but are contracted out to do any kind of job by a corporation.

On top of all this noise goods and services are simply acquired but not as an owned item or service provider, more like everything is now a subscription, plus millions have joined this subscription economy and that's a lot of competition, lots.
