Same here. It’s enraging. We had near-unlimited resources and did complete clown shit with it. Meanwhile, we had a whole fucking flotilla of PMC libs telling us that assuredly nothing else was possible.

We could have built out a modern power grid, had renewables everywhere, lots of nuclear, been on the way to fusion power and revamped all of our housing. What we ended up with was fucking crypto coin, NFTs, WeWork and Juicero. Awesome.
