The people with the skills to use technology are not the ones with the power.

Their bosses are the ones with power, and they don't know fucking anything.

    Yup, exploitation of labor per usual.

    But when I say 'skills' I didn't mean individual coding ability, I mean like Analytics. Skills that an entire corporation wields. Monitoring weather and hiking prices for utilities during a national emergency incrementally or 'intelligently'. The way VW cheated on emissions. The way flock uses optical text recognition to read license plates and effectively creates a massive surveillance apparatus.

    Use tech to do a thing, but scale it up wide and quick, abuse it before the law can catch up.
