Realistically speaking, I wonder when the last time it was that any serious younger Millennial or Gen Z person tried to start a business for themselves either online or in-person ( a brick and mortar storefront )... without being overwhelmed or overburdened by the complexities and costs involved in starting one's own business as a LLC or them just being self-employed?
People don't know what's going on anymore. The shareholders literally dictate all of the terms for all publicly traded companies (through every equity portfolio manager plugged in through this scheme to buy all of the assets).
I think the answer is in starting up more private micro-businesses, using real syndicates for improving transactional systems and not just using the word 'syndicate' on a business card without it meaning something in-depth, and using Software as a Service in a as-yet-undefined set of procedures to outcompete these multi-millionaires and unhealthy and unhappy people with agendas running their publicly traded companies.
Something has to give here in America eventually. Unemployment is now near 8% if looking only at the U-6 rate which includes underemployed and the marginally attached workers. Economic inflation is getting more out of control. Citizens without leaders (a total paradox) must seize the means to change the narrative and let go of the old biases and hang-ups from the last forty years.
Everybody in the USA has been struggling to afford college since 1978. Ask any Generation X person this. People started losing financial independence due to inflation and other factors right before the truly awful politicians such as Mitch McConnell and Newt Gingrich got into US politics by the late 1970s. Right as that occurred, all of the companies started laying people off, exporting the selling of products within capital markets to the Japanese marketplace and later the vast Chinese marketplaces. Ever since that decade in America, these tightwad businesses large and small have tightened their budgetary belts so well and so frequently that there's nothing left for workers.
The left-wing intellectuals should stop complaining in hindsight about ending all forms of capitalism and stop reminding us about those now-obscure economic topics — such as precisely how it was that economist John Maynard Keynes was somewhat incorrect in his planned, staged approach to incrementally boosting post-WW2 economies across the globe.
