There are more consequences than just the desertification of inner cities and town centres, In Germany, the logistcs for parcel delivery are short before collapse. German Amazon Prime members do not get their parcels on time, and frequently so. There are neither enough capacities, nor enough workers willing to do this - extremely stressful - job for a poor man's loan. I did this jkob once for christmas season, 25 years ago. Already back then it was stress in purest forma. Today, with the volumina of deliveries increased by several factors and time pressure ad infinitum, I hate to imagine I would do it again.

And how attractive is it in non-m,ajor cities to go to town if you stare at empty shop windows and deserted stores everywhere? Where there are no shops, there are no jobs. Where there are no jobs, people move away when the ycan. Staying behind are the old ones - depending on the supply structure of regional, local shops. Social distortions. Demography-induced problems for the infratsructure, and how to finance it for just a few old ones.

Capitalism is more than just counting coins for coins, Platapus, it also necessarily implies longtemr vision and strategy. And the respinsiblity that comes form realsing this . I do not mean these modern propagandistic catchphrases of "social justice" and "social repsonsibility", although I use the temr here. These terms as used today, mean nothing to me. I talk of the responsibility you naturally accept, if you are a sane person, when you see and realise the longterm dependecnies for your interest being embedded in functional communal contexts. Austrians know this. Classical economists understood this.

Capitalism is more than just "coin for coin". Capital means more than just money. Modern "economists"

do not understand neither this, nor the meaning of money.

And monopolies, either in local store nevrionments, or in the web-based economy, once established always backfire against the consumer. Always. Dependency on just one supplier who makes the rules, never is good. Look at the state himself, biggest monopolist there is. Worst service, highest price, making rules as he pleases, changing treaties time and again and any moment just as he now wants them. Complete unreliability, complete dependency, complete vulnerability for us.
