Kids are being taught it's normal and ok for there to be a subscription model for everything. The most popular games are all about use of imaginary currency. User license agreements turn every device into a rental.

On top of which, when value is manipulated by hidden actors at every level, the cost of basic life stuff varies exponentially and rises arbitrarily, that's an existential problem for society.

We're Doomed!
