Capitalism will destroy everything it touches. Cuba is a communist shit hole, but at least its beaches are still beautiful and aren't ringed with 40 story condo buildings from Florida to Virginia. When I was a kid, my buddy's parents had a house on the beach in Apalachicola. From the deck, you couldn't see another house. I was taking a piss at a truck stop a couple years ago. The trucker at the urinal next to me remarked: "Pretty soon this whole fucking country is going to be nothing but Walmarts and gas stations." More wisdom than you could find in the Ivy League.
Every couple of miles there has to be a mini-mall with exactly the same stores as all the others. Insatiable greed. Generations of swine. One doesn't expect guys like the trucker or an old fashioned Conservative like you to know things like this. But you see it and can't deny it.
There are no easy answers. The staunch small business/entrepreneurial ethos transforms into this. The answer is Catastrophe and a return to the beginning, the End of the World in the Christian sense, or National Socialism and the the New Man. I admit the last is the least likely at this point.
