Surely, more capitalism will fix this.

That's how I know I'm home
That's kind of a shitty argument though. Because I don't think we should just give up. We have to at least try.
But also, when society is this fucked, this deeply, by this type of cancer... It's systemic and we're heading in a very dark direction. People are going to starve to death no matter what, and compared to full on ww3, I think at some point we need to head it off, identify and cut out the cancer, and try our best to not let corruption back into the power vacuum.
None of this is easy. Not easy to do, not easy to talk about, not easy to even think about. It's uncomfortable. And many won't agree. But until society isn't ratfucking select parts of itself and enriching evil people, I think there's some structural improvement to be had. The real question, then, is how far down do we need to go? How deep do these shitty roots with a stranglehold on all of us go?
I know. I wish it weren't that way, and I think it important we all strive for better alternatives.
We need to throw the baby out with the bath water. Burn out the cancer. If we can't plug the leak, it's time for a new boat.
Gat dayum Microslop fucked up.
They fucked up so hard, they still don't know how bad they fucked up. The done goofed. Done screwed the pooch.
This desperation ain't nothing. Give it time. It'll just get tastier.
Yeah I don't have a problem with giving credit to engineers if it's a good thing like this. It's when it directly gives evil people like that more wealth and power.
Jeff Bezos is a very evil man and I don't want to touch or support anything that benefits him with a million foot pole.
Imagine if it were Musk or Trump or worse. I have a hard time accepting that, ethically.
I love trucks, and the electrification of everything, sustainable infrastructure and energy. But it has to serve the wellness and the future of the people, not a fucking evil billionaire who is going to turn around and choke us all to death as slaves while the takes over the world.
And as much as I really love stuff like this, engineering and sociologically, and would have idolized this as a teenager and bought it blindly could I have afforded it then, I'm an adult now and have a pretty strong sense of social responsibility to my fellow citizens and the future wellness of both people individually and society. And I just... It's really hard to justify buying or advertising or supporting or even wanting stuff like this if the net outcome is just gonna be the same old, same old.
Like, I don't want a Tesla anymore. Not only because their quality has dropped SIGNIFICANTLY, but also because the company refused to drop musk after all of his literally political interference and throwing up multiple sig heils or heil hitlers or whatever the fucking Nazi salute.
So when I ask "is this Jeff Bezos's truck?" And the answer is "he's an investor", I really don't think anybody should be promoting it or talking about it irresponsibly without considering the ethical concerns and track records of these far alt right billionaire backed corporations.
And unfortunately, I still see way too much of it.
I get that people are sick of horrible shit and life is short and these are nice things... But repeated exceptionalism and social irresponsibility are EXACTLY how we got here in the first place. I'm disgusted, disappointed, frustrated, angry, and sad.
I need good news. Not head-in-sand and keep-shitting-in-the-house-because-it-feels-good.
Jeff Bezos's truck?
It has been a LONG time since I did any real math and never took statistics, but wouldn't x^(-1) just be 1/(x)? I don't know if that equates to "everything that isn't x". I feel like there's a specific way to write that, but a negative exponent is not that, I don't think, but also I have no idea.
I looked it up. Looks like this stuff is maybe from set theory? Which I sooorrrrt of remember doing at some point?
My best guess is your professor either said something from this, or you misremembered, or I'm totally off base and I'm still curious.
FUCKING GOOD.
STOP BUILDING EVIL SHIT.
I regret image searching duck penis today.
