It's also not uncommon to purchase an existing company, move debt over to it, and then kill it off. Late stage capitalism is an interesting phenomenon.

Things aren't quite bad enough yet. If the current trajectory persists, maybe in 15-20 years?

It seems kind of optimistic or naïve to call this late-stage capitalism. It can get a lot worse if you really unfetter the capitalist machinery.
