Hey, bud?

Maybe you should think about how they could possibly waste all that money while turning a profit. Then ask yourself what other industries are doing the same thing?

Is it, maybe, just maybe, all of them?

Is that why you're expected to work a job you hate until the day you die despite productivity being higher than it's ever been?

Like, absurdly so. Maybe ask yourself why society could function reasonably well when a farmer could feed five people but things are more or less the same but with cellphones when they feed 150 instead.
