I think it’s inevitable that companies like Bodega would emerge because capital owners want higher returns at shorter spans of time. No longer are the Moon shots allowed unless it’s offset by a sure thing and even then it’s rare that those even get funded. This is why capitalism can’t get us off the Earth or solve the problem of global warming or the solve the problem of the fresh water crisis because the return on solutions to those problems aren’t realizable within a human lifetime (unless you’re a baby right now). In theory, that’s why governments are for but even they’re constrained by the need to have realizable goals within a span of an election cycle. I think the only time we’ve seen anything that’s been a success on that front would be the Montreal Protocol and that took years to achieve.
