I feel it too, the optimism has hit an organizational wall. I remember being worried about AOL’s take over of the internet and relieved when AOL went belly-up. I have the same worry about FANG and keep my fingers crossed that decentralization will replace them and they will go bankrupt from over-leveraging.

Employee ownership in companies has to get better. Direction has become so opaque, hidden, and now quite frankly tasteless and borderline tacky.
