It is one of the best motivators for certain people and certain types of problems.

Whatever flies their boat. The events might have gotten a different reception, had they not made them so much of a show.

And yeah, that rash Bezos' comment certainly did not help.

To be fair, why should they care? It's only people like you and I who have to remain on social media, for things like promoting products or finding work. If I had their money, I wouldn't be sitting here listening to all this nonsense - I'd be trying to build a rocket, too.

You're absolutely right. I myself can only shrug *but*, at the same time, still can relate to the outrage of people who work in former Bezos' warehouses, risk being sacked for no good reason other than broken algos, and who have to do massive overtime just to make ends meet.

If his company had been perceived as a fair employer, then our conversation would likely never have occurred. :)

But separately, it _is_ an employer, which is something. It actually has non-tech employees and actually pays them. That's something very few tech companies do.

And I have to believe that, since all they end up getting is hate mail for that, I would suspect they are just counting the days until the robot future, right...

So like, at the end of the day, I get where people are coming from, but I don't know if they have a realistic picture of what is actually going on, or what is going to happen down the line.

They likely don't, because of the sheer number of variables in the equation. The extra emotions certainly do not help. But yeah, putting those aside, I do appreciate the progress we're all witnessing.

Separately, I suppose I am also somewhat put off by the fact that there probably are _many_ billionaires out there who are literally just spending their money on themselves, with no side benefit to society. Space exploration is at least something we need to do.
