Vegetable Gremlin ⍼👻musk fuckin up in public and crypto just absolutely tanking and self-driving cars clearly never coming together and "da metaverse" being its whole entire deal has me hopeful that fatuous tech futurism may be finally on the out. Maybe this can be replaced with envisioning a future worth living in
Loy@vegetablegremlin there'll be a next cycle of tech crap. Question is: what will it be that time around?
@loy what a dull response.
@vegetablegremlin True...
wish it was otherwise. We here can decide to not fall for it, but as long as investors somehow extract money to play around with, they'll seek the investments they expect to yield highest return.
It trickles down that way, slowly. Unless we go for 'piñata economics', which uh, trickles down faster 
@loy so your response to “maybe we can start to envision a better future” is “no don’t”
@vegetablegremlin I'm pretty skeptical about collective change, hearing about climate change all my life with little action.
But taxing the rich so we all share, leaving little money for crazy investments but instead an UBI, sounds great to me.
