I couldn’t care less

I remember the complaints of the Agrarian Proto-Socialists like Lord Byron. Byron of course was mostly complaining about how his lace was now shit and almost as expensive and now he also had to walk past a bunch of abandoned buildings in the local village and a bunch of homeless people in town.

He was a horrible person in a lot of ways (possibly made worse by what looks like Bipolar disorder that ran through his family, Ada described it as " Radical Enthusiasms, separated by Deep Melancholy.") but unlike most he had the capability of growing a conscience. Genuine hero in Greece too.

Also reading about the 1st Opium War, and how the British Populace, Civil Service, Nobility, most businesses including East Asian colonial ones, and both the Whigs/Peelites/Radicals and Tories were all aghast at the prospect and clear about it’s utter immorality, and the East India Company and it’s satellite traders rammed it through by saying “nice economy there, shame if it were to collapse.”

Doesn’t matter if no one wants it, only matters if it increases margins and reduces Labour power.

1/10th the quality is generous - $20/mo for a recording throughput requiring multiple full time voice actors on payroll is gonna get you some microsoft sam tier shit

If you don’t learn shit before your boss does, you will be unemployed and it will suck. Be unemployed but it rules. Or go (back) to university.

The Luddite’s sabotage was never the goal, but a tactic
