You guys aren’t going to like some of the answer, but it was capitalism that gave you the good stuff, and it’s also capitalism that is giving you all the garbage. Early competition pushed companies to make the best product so they could to win the market. We all loved it. Once they won, it was all about how cheap they could do it. The only competition now is their own bottom line.

A new competitor needs to rise up and light a fire inside the market. Unlikely during hard economic times. Simple as that

Correct. Only thing we are missing here is that the winners have gotten govt involved (very not capitalist) to raise the barrier of entry such that it’s even more difficult for a new competitor to enter the market to perform such a shake-up

and the government has started taking large stakes in companies which sort of chooses a winner
