Although you are correct, the statement is still arguably correct.l, even if only accidentally.

As the parent entity, the national PBS has a responsibility to guide and even mandate policies and provide best practice guidelines or even offer support and assistance in burden sharing arrangements.

PBS has long now had major structural challenges due to things like internal corruption and overbearing control by the well funded chapters without commensurate responsibility.

As with many such decentralized membership organizational structures, incentives can often be very misaligned between verticals and laterals.

What happens to the whole attention economy, i.e., social media, apps, games, etc. when phones/devices become too expensive for people?

It’s a mistake to call these capitalist things. When the government subsidizes you and bails you out with money printing fraud and government spending and no one is ever held accountable, let alone suffer any real consequences; you don’t have capitalism at all, any more than “communism” was ever actually communism.

Frankly, if you look at “capitalism” it oddly looks far more like the underlying con system of control core to “communism” than not, even if it has been far more sustainable and enduring because it is based on ideological control, not physical control.
