I would counter this idea its all corporations fault with "the general public doesn't want to rotate a tire, let alone grow a potato."
We socially infantilized each other. Technology plays a huge role in that.
Voices of the past warned that extreme division of labor would result in humans that are lazier, stupider than the dumbest animal. People sit online screeching about the slightest social faux pas, do nothing about intentional destabilization of education, healthcare, and infrastructure by political parties.
We complain that every last mile problem, every edge case we encounter, was not solved already by Big Tech. Never occurs to us to solve them ourselves.
I grew up being taught how to rebuild cars from the frame up, fix houses for people in need struggling in Midwest winters, was mentored in physics, chemistry by college age aunts and uncles, had a grandfather who retired after decades of designing computers for IBM teach me analog circuit designs/implementations, and helped farmers birth/raise livestock, got a couple uni degrees a while back. I'm barely 40.
Meanwhile my office worker colleagues waste time and real resources driving for an oil change. They demand others solve their survival problems for them. Friends struggling in this economy have started chanting "If I'm just going to berated for not working 7 days/week for a rich person, may as well quit and work 7 days/week growing my own food, fixing my home."
Fingers crossed the fiat hallucination Boomers force us into serving is about to vanish with them. Physics does not put an obligation on the future to propagate their rhetoric.
