@tante Technology companies have sucked as much blood as they can, without risking the danger of invoking revolt and new regulations.

What the world needs now is socially beneficial technology, that is free, and run by non-profits and governments. We don’t need anything new that would be profitable, and would allow the vamipirism to continue. There isn’t much blood left to drain, without causing serious, acute, obvious harm.

Most people don’t need the software and tech that has already infiltrated and colonized their lives, like black mold. They need essential services, and more real prosperity. But that would reduce profit margins.
