It's NOT the patronized resilience and intrepidness of ownership, but cannibalizing arbitraged economics graveyard.
Arbitrage
[lär-ba-,träzh]
The simultaneous purchase and sale of the same asset in different markets in order to profit
from tiny differences in the asset's listed price.

Arbitraging economics
Broader view: Beyond any malfeasance and incompetence, such businesses and smaller ones exist in a business equity, killing-fields crab-basket competition over scarcity. Cannibalization of the smaller-n-weaker, if not possible, bankruptcy is inevitable. What we buy provides the margin of profit for the supplier. What we "possess" becomes the next object of undervalue for a subsequent reselling premium in a fixed seller's market.
'Timelessness' seems utopian, naive, and idealistic in the climate of humanistic conditions of disruptive and dislocating dynamics, but such a near-immutable stability is conceivable beyond the vulnerability arbitraging machinations that are present. By our consolidation of energy, assets and equity in intimate, proximal, and virtual networks, we reduce the market leverage to our energies of symbiotic and synergistic creativity.
Absent that, we're just hustlers or pimped-out pawns of forces to which we are dependent and vulnerable. Scroungers on the rationed left-overs or the conditions that ration our access to those rationed left overs.
