    Oh, nice… techno-solution No. 456927493923990003038. You know… the same ole’ techno-solutions they’ve been promising us will solve all the capitalism-instigated problems (ie, problems that aren’t technological in nature) since at least the 80s?

    I’ll just go ahead and file this with the rest.

      since at least the 80s

      People have been reliant on “ole’ techno-solutions” since the dawn of humanity 2 million years ago on the African savannah, long before capitalism was even a thing. Just sayin’.

        I think in this case it’s a matter of definition what constitutes a “techno-solution”, specifically the “techno” part. Just saying.

        Soooo… according to you people have been relying on “techno-solutions” to fix the problems caused by capitalism long before capitalism was even invented.

        Yeah… that makes total sense.

      Damn right, many techno-solutions already exist and have for a while but don’t get used, usually due to bribery by the purveyors of the problem.

        No, usually because of the same reason most of these innovations don’t work. They don’t scale for one of 1000 reasons.

        Not everything is a conspiracy.
