Please don’t confuse actual technological progress with markets.
Consumer goods are delivered through market distributions for nearly every post-industrial society on earth.
The government could distribute widgets, but it doesn’t.
Modern infrastructure is not built by markets.
Construction crews, materials purveyors, architects, electricians/plumbers… All come through the market system. That’s why Americans have to turn to Spain or Japan every time they float the idea of expanding HSR. That’s why only two companies in the world build civilian airliners. That’s why our telecom network is an oligopoly.
Whut?
Teqball’s a lot of fun.



Well… maybe not.
I do think we’re running into a problem of net in exceeding net out with modern tech and finance companies. They’ve surpassed the point at which they can generate meaningful amounts of profit because they’ve cartelized all the major profit centers.
But the idea that there’s nothing left to improve, nothing left to repair, and no one left to consumerize… no, obviously not. The market system isn’t failing. It is being failed by business leaders that no longer want to do the hard work of management, innovation, and improvement.
Look outside the US and you can find everything from massive overhauls in modern infrastructure to breakthroughs in manufacturing and miniaturization to exciting modernization in entertainment and sports. Within the US, though, its just slop.


Or they’re in a hurry and didn’t realize the door was ajar when they left the vehicle.
Pretty normal for this to happen at the airport, especially when you’re carrying a bunch of bags, juggling kids, etc. Normally, its not a big deal, because the cabbie will pop out and close the door if they get the alert. But here, there’s no remote way to close the door and no way to signal the rider that it didn’t close completely.

You’re just describing a task scheduler.
Are you kidding? There’s nothing I love more than hand typing a 400 character file path.


human is dumb for specifically choosing to be a piece of shit for NOT closing the car door.
Depending on what I’m doing, I periodically have to double back and re-close a door if I didn’t close it hard enough. Modern cars have built in alarms specifically to alert drivers when a door latch isn’t secured. You don’t have to be a piece of shit to fail to notice that a door is ajar.


Need a car to get to the airport, because my city doesn’t have mass transit.
If the only cars in my area are Waymos, do I just skip my flight?


Humans know how to close a car door.


The future is clocking in for another 12 hour shift at the “making minor adjustments to the super intelligent AI dick sucking factory” so you can afford to eat the bugs and live in the pod


When you’ve spent your whole life surrounded by these freaks, the outrage wanes.
There’s no real yield in being perpetually angry if there’s no outlet for the frustration.


Subscriptions? You idiots are paying for this shit?
Whole Op-Ed columnist careers are turning to divorce Epstein from his associates and dismiss the mountains of evidence as irrelevant.
That said, the fuckers running around screaming “Release the Epstein Files!” while the trample the grave of Virginia Giuffre are telling on themselves.


Not wildly.


Have you gone to see the dinosaurs yet? No?
Okay, then are you going to go see the dinosaurs after this?


This is like a criticism of Schindler’s List because it portrays a genocide.
It’s like criticizing an article about Schindler’s List with the bolded caption “Find out how many kikes can fit in an oven”.
It’s funny because there is plenty of horrifying and deliberately salacious shit that they did with Shields that would merit more criticism.
The quote directly below a photo of her and Woody Allen is more than I needed to see, thanks.


On April 4, 2007, shock jock Don Imus referred to the Rutgers women’s basketball team as “nappy headed ho’s” following their Cinderella Story NCAA playoff run that left them the number 2 women’s team in the nation
It’s how these fuckers talk about everyone.
