centralization is almost never a good idea. It doesn't work well in nature, doesn't work well in business. for some reason we are drawn to it. thinking it will lead to cheaper, better, faster.

What do we get in return? workers, businesses, and politics that don't care. Each individual worker is lost in the monster company. each individual consumer is just a number. tainted baby formula, toxic drywall, lead laced toys. what else do you get? greedy mega monsters that want their hands in everything. Realtor-Broker-Escrow-Servicing bastards who seek to get every cent they can. It's faster! we are all in house! But it's not faster, in fact, it's also more expensive. no one wants to take responsibility, nor tell off someone who made a vital mistake because this person sits in the next cubicle. loss of business isn't possible, so there is no need to do your best. Shit, no real need to try at all. In the end everyone is a number, and none of those numbers count for anything at all.
