When I’ve run out of words to express my horror at the turn of events, or find out that yet another world altering problem is the result of a decision made well before I was born that put profits or power over morals, I fall back to “I just need a time machine and a shotgun.”
Honestly, I probably wouldn’t just go blasting through the prime directive, but I’d definitely tell Gerald Ford what pardoning Nixon unleashed. And if I didn’t come back to swim in the thriving coral beaches in President Gore’s exclusive economic zone, I’m gonna mentor teenage Ronald Reagan to be a race car driver, and teach 1970’s Trump how stock options work with the hopefulness, enthusiasm and knowledge of a WSB YOLO investor.
So you’re saying there’s going to be a big influx of cash into small battery research and improving efficiency for tiny screens/low power WiFi?
