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.

    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.

    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?)
