That guy had a point. And I don’t have an answer. Maybe reallocate some of the defense spending that was already insane at that time?

And technical innovation has been stagnant ever since. Keeping most people, some of whom could be coming up with new ideas if they had time and resources to explore their passions, working dead end service jobs and exhausting themselves just to make ends meet so 12 people can have all the money is more important.
Yes I know the phone in my pocket is more powerful than the Apollo guidance computer by many orders of magnitude, but that’s just iterating on an old concept. To me, innovation is jet engines for airplanes, or rockets capable of escaping earth orbit when nothing like it existed before.
obrien_must_suffer@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Men who feel like fully functional people, how did you get there?4·16 hours agoIt’s an eternal work in progress, but the concept of neutral thinking really clicked for me. Look up “It Takes What It Takes” by Trevor Moawad. I’m still figuring out where to start on community, my social life peaked in high school never recovered. All the old civic organizations and churches seem to be dying off.
Flush all the tech boomers out and mean more job security for me. I’m game.

obrien_must_suffer@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do Americans pretend they're not broke when most Americans are in debt?7·17 hours agoI wish I had learned this nuance earlier. I started out throwing all the money I could at whatever I was trying to pay off as fast as possible because I had it hammered into me as a child that all debt is a personal moral failing.
I’ve since learned that having cash on hand and a relatively low interest loan like a mortgage or a car loan, is better than a slightly lower balance on said loan and having to use a high interest credit card when an emergency inevitably pops up because I didn’t have any cash.
