Well, attempting to regulate and somewhat control it is what politics have been saying they were doing for a decade or more now, nothing moves... Here in Europe, every "attempt" at regulation by the political cast ends up being just a delay, rendered null and void a few months later, fiscal evasion is a pain in the ass, billions of loss every month. People start being fed up with the bs ; I know a large part of my generation just accepted the fact it's not going to get any better and alternatives already appear.

I don't think it's going to happen like "throwing the house out with the kitchen", it's just going to fade while people re-adjust and re-appropriate their economy and politics at a smaller scale. Here we see more and more "cooperative markets" where customers can buy directly to local producers, and short-circuit the supermarkets. Better products, they know where it's coming from, if it's ethical production etc...
A couple of cities decided to become autonomous food-wise, they bought back fields to local farmers and the inhabitants of these cities produce food for the local market, unemployement pretty much disappeared in these cities, people would rather be involved in something concrete than struggle to find a shit jobs for big companies.

Also thanks for taking over in the discussion with Surfings, he writes so many absurd stuffs I don't know where to begin with, it's a tiresome exercise.
