There was a point in time when monopolies weren't understood as economic constructs.

We're in a new era where the Famgopolies are something entirely new with an even greater reach. They're all-encapsulating bubbles that ensnare people across all the interactions they perform on a daily basis, then tax every single point of ingress or egress.

If they keep growing, the classic Demolition Man scene where everything is Taco Bell will come true. Everything we see, buy, eat, date, or think will come from the Famgopolies.



You really need to define 'famgolopy' every time you use it. It's not in urbandictionary and the only search results on the topic link back to these threads.

It's too much of a neologism to trust that people understand what you mean from context.
