We know the "world has changed": that's why we're yelling. The Luddites yelled when factories started churning out cheap fabric that'd barely last 10 years, turning what was once a purchase into a subscription. The villagers of Capel Celyn yelled when their homes were flooded to provide a reservoir for the Liverpool Corporation – a reservoir used for drinking water, in which human corpses lie.

This change is good for some people, but it isn't good for us – and I suspect the problems we're raising the alarm about also affect you.
