Apologies. I omitted one of the most potent reforms floated by Sen Mark Warner (IIRC) and others: sharply curtailing freemium and ad supported biz models. Facepalm slap. Were I to compile reform proposals, I'd avoid such silly errors.

> jobs were lost

Which jobs are we talking about? Do you anticipant greater job loses than precipitated by Amazon thus far, or by WalMart before them? In your taxonomy, are gig workers included? In which case they are employees, not contractors. So should we start treating them as employees?

I'm often reminded by Winston Churchill's wisdom advocating the rebuilding of their damaged Parliament exactly as before:

We shape the buildings that then shape us.

Markets, economies, society, beliefs are human things, made by humans, to benefit humans.

We can build the society we want, if only we found the courage.
