It's super interesting that transatlantic flight is slower in 2020 than it was in 1960. Approximately 0/100 people would have predicted this at the start of the Jet Age, just like none of us thought in 2000 we'd end up using slower computers with less memoryhttps://twitter.com/jonostrower/status/1401586209873305602 …

"robust capitalist economy" My dude, real wages have stagnated for my entire lifetime and most people in my generation will never be able to own a house

An entire economic and ideological alternative to capitalism died in my lifetime because it wasn't able to provide for people's most basic needs. So I'm always going to be a fan of capitalism, where shoes fit and the toilet paper at least doesn't hurt to use

We've been in a recession for over a decade!

We're in an unprecedented period of economic expansion that's been ongoing since 2009. We're still technically in it. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/recession.asp … The problem is it isn't trickling down like Reaganomics predicted, so it feels like a recession to those under the 80th percentile.

"Robust"? Y'all crash the economy every 10 years or so. You'd have destroyed the world economy if it weren't for the proletariat to bail you out thru taxpayer's money fixing your attempts of generating infinite profit for yourselves at the expense of everyone and everything else.

You are being deliberately blind. It's a false dichotomy, of course. But whether something is profitable has no bearing on whether it enables progress or discovery.

"Our system of private enterprise required immense public funding to fix a plague that was literally killing millions of people, that's why it's better than socialism"
