So a rich uber billionaire decided to show of 3 days ago. "Look what I can do" is their mantra.
I don't think anyone likes being poor or middle class and struggling. Been there done that. But these "Ford Vs Chevy" "NASCAR vs Indy" thrill junkies do not impress me.
I love Tokyo Japan. I love Brisbane Australia, and YES, I fucking hated all the time it took to get there, but more than that the turbulence. To this day I have nightmares about turbulence. I could tolerate a trip to Tokyo if it only took 90 minutes.
And while I am glad my mail isn't delivered by horse and the Pony express, humans still had electric vehicle technology 100 years ago.
What I have seen from Branson, and Musk and Bezos, isn't so much about advancing science, but advancing profits and consumption.
It is most certainly appealing of the thought of getting a view of the earth from above. But right now, our species has far more important issues in climate change and pollution and poverty, than a bunch of uber billionaires who are showing off.
