Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis.

Well, you're right that the bigger issue is people expecting tech to solve social problems created by social structure. But Yes, tech is absolutely failing at this. How could it not?

Why not instead take this show of contempt for tech as another chance for people to recognize the underlying issue, not as a threat to the future of tech developments.
