That's this universe we live in, the powers that be actively fighting progress, yet progress still is made. I'm grateful to those who progress technology and apply it to benefit humanity. The Drump administration just keeps losing.
As long as the progress is profitable.
'profitable' for him, as in bribes and 'donations' from specific persons to allow such projects in specific places, and for specific purposes.
Something that may be profitable to some may be costly to others. Like solar power is to coal companies.
They don’t care about us in those games they play.
Depends on the fucking technology doesn't it? Most of it is capitalism slop. WE HAVE REINVENTED THE FORK! BY REMOVING A PRONG!
(it's been shown according to a study that I found in my anus that three prongs are superior and makes you healthier and saves me 25% on the production cost, isn't capitalism JUST FUCKING DANDY how did we even invent things before it?)
They're not really fighting progress, they're fighting whatever they don't own that's competing with what they do own. Whether that's progress or convention doesn't matter to them. At some point if the other thing wins they switch tactics and start buying it.
