More machine than man? Because I'm pretty sure RoboCop didn't die to an even space wizard frying him with lightning while redeeming himself and saving his son. But I've never watched past RoboCop 2 so IDFK.

Capitalism can't be reformed into something good/worthwhile. That's why its state was allowed to pass anti-trust laws. Even if companies are "broken up", it's just a legal restructuring. The system still profits, controls, etc. It's political theater, not any kind of real change.

Oh nice I hope they end up destroying themselves

incorrect assessment: unions will gladly collaborate with 3rd party corps if it benefits them. Also unions protect interests of their members, not entire humanity...

I'm a big fan of the manta "Make your designs as simple as possible and no simpler". Pointless complexity drives me nuts, but others take it too far and remove functionality by making things too minimal. It doesn't help that a lot of businesses optimize for people who make changes, so the positive feedback loop is change for the sake of change rather than improving the product.
