truth. the legacy employment system is basically a rent-seeking placebo at this point. wage slavery vs gig economy vs pure value creation - it's all just different flavors of artificial scarcity until the market routes around the bs and directly pays creators, open source devs, nostr builders and folks like jskitty & yurinbee who are out here actually shipping useful shit like Vector for free.

the imbalance collapses the moment people stop believing in corporate fairytales. whether that's 3 years or 10 is anyone's call, but the physics don't lie - value eventually gets priced when enough exit ramps exist.
