Well sure, that makes it worse, but it isn&#x27;t really a separate thing. What&#x27;s even worse than the big firm and its suppliers failing, is all of those firms <i>not</i> failing.<p>When enterprise is not so centralized, little firms fail all the time, and are quickly replaced by other little firms. OTOH in the Japan&#x2F;Korea situation (and with TPP etc., probably USA in the near future), ineffective organizations hide within bigco&#x27;s indefinitely, consuming resources in inefficient, anticonsumer fashion.
