Just read something that got me thinking. An American history professor dropped this take in an essay—basically saying we're living through another Gilded Age right now. You know, that whole era of extreme wealth gaps and unchecked capitalism?

His argument? This cycle won't break until some fresh political movement shows up. Not the same old playbook we've been running for decades. Something that actually confronts the mess we've been piling up since, what, the 1970s? Half a century of issues just sitting there.

Kinda makes you wonder if we're waiting for a system reset. The patterns repeat, don't they? Economic concentration, political gridlock, then eventually... something snaps. Question is whether that change comes from inside the existing structures or completely outside them.

What's your take—are we really in for a major shift, or just another cycle of promises?
