Overvloed.

There is no mainstream

Abundance is killing us.

The only way to save the economy is to crash it.

Unlimited music, nine dollars a month.

Unlimited movies and TV shows, thirteen dollars a month.

Unlimited news and journalism, zero dollars a month.

Facebook is free. Twitter is free. Snapchat is free. Instagram is free. Youtube is free. Video game apps are free. Texting is free. Sexting is free. Skyping is free. Chatting is free. Why would you spend money on anything? Where do you think people spend their time now? Endless entertainment and content, for almost nothing.

Today there is too much of everything and no demand for it. Abundance is wrecking the economy. Too much oil, too much gas. Too many websites and shows and streaming services and apps. Too many subcultures and verticals and genres. How can anyone be heard or seen? How can anything rise above the din?

The best thing that could happen here is for a return of the cycle. We’re in year seven of an “expansion” and no one is happy. It’s time for a contraction. It’s long overdue.

And then we begin again. Less abundance of resources will demand more ingenuity. The system will be back on track.
