My post #43 may shed more light on my thinking.
I don’t think there is any great conspiracy as such, just an inertia among people and organizations resisting their apple cart being upset. With big ideas, it is natural that the ‘apple cart people’ are also big idea people, (old big ideas) and powerful enough to make it difficult to move them out of the way.
The only exception may be the Socialist angle, but even there, Socialists don’t have to get together an plan the resistance, they all know what to do.
Unless you count Satan as the Great Conspirator. THAT I buy into, hook, line, sinker.
Thanks for the clarification.
I guess I remain naïve in my “advanced” years and still believe in the power of innovation to disrupt and improve our world. Creative destruction.
There is always resistance to change; some, of course, unfair. But if we can maintain some semblance of a free market then the new will replace the old.
Perhaps I read too much science fiction in the 60’s... ;-)
