1. I’m all for including the costs of externalities as mentioned in the article.

2. However, some of the article’s criticisms seem wrong, such as around US school funding - whether measured in absolute terms or not, the U.S. is one of the higher school spending countries among developed nations. https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/education-at-a-glance-2...

3. More of a general complaint than specific to this article, I find enshittification to be a lazy catch all term - to me it seems to often be used as a vibes based way to deride something while avoiding specifics. Again, more of a general complaint about the term’s usage today than this article in particular.
