back in the days we were just working. we cared about technology. those in control cared for money. which was absolutely fine.

Women and people of color were systemically discriminated against. Companies ignored environmental externalities, or worse actively campaigned to spread misinformation about them to the detriment of us all. Cities were destroyed by anti-corporate taxation measures enacted by those who cared for money, and now the people who provide basic services cannot afford to live there.

If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?

I see your point. and even if I am a victim myself like you and many others, I cant just blame them and feel happy about it. I blame it on a the system. and...governments.

but see? this is political talk again. and I have no time for that. accept the things as they are and try to build tools to make the world a better place. and for me that means, actively do something myself.
