Late-stage capitalism is a term that is rapidly approaching its 100th birthday. It colloquially describes a phase of capitalism marked by the dominance of multinational corporations, financial speculation, and mass consumerism. Do you really take issue with this characterization?

I make no argument against free labor, voluntarily given in service of a collective good.

I do take issue with the fact that creating OSS is not a viable way to cover basic living expenses unless you are on some corporation's payroll.
