I would think that was very easy to understand.

Unless you are stuck on some axiom that what's good for the companies is good for… humans.

I think it's fairly self evident at this point that you've got people, you've got companies, you've got capitalism as a whole. It's a pecking order and they are somewhat to extremely antagonistic. People, as the most powerless entities in the equation, are very much on the way out.

You can downvote all you like, but all this is to be expected and is unsurprising.

Humans are to these large collective entities or even larger self-organizing entities like political systems, as cells are to humans. There is no reason to assume a humanocentric viewpoint here, and if assuming one leads to continuous dismay and surprise, you've got to widen your perspective and acknowledge higher-order organisms when they're this obvious.

It's like a sort of Singularity. Why would it be surprising if we fail to immediately recognize it for what it is?
