You realize when you write "petri dish" and "bacterial" you were narrowing your audience to 1 in 1,000. That's generous ;)

I wish you'd use some examples everyone can see. Why are there so many buildings in China crumbling? Perhaps they simply ran out of the cheap energy needed to complete them (for their 2nd class citizens who bought them).

Why are many pickup trucks over $100,000 dollars? Because the market has shifted to favor wealthy buyers (low sales high margins) over everyone else (high sales low margin). Why, why, why? Mass production requires cheap energy. (I believe this trend began in 2000)

Why is real estate in cities going up, up, up? While real estate in the middle of nowhere going down, down, down. Again, low sales high margin. Wealthy is concentrating in the petri dish.

Why can't you repair many machines these days? How is it possible fixing a taillight of an Ford F-150 ends up costing $5,600?

All this and more you can enjoy if you pick your head up from your science books! What you explain is already happening.
