    Wish we could do that. But now that I think about it, it’s much better to improve things in small steps that can be monetized with ever increasing prices for each step. Yeah, that’s definitely the better way to do it.

  I get it dictators are shit and we should kill them, but having a society where people’s needs are met makes society easier to control. It’s literally good for the CCP to make people’s lives better so they don’t get hung.
