  • rich people are mostly occupied by punching down. They incredibly paranoid about everyone else encroaching on their financial security even though it is borderline unrealistic given their positions and political weight.

    this shit runs rampant in our agrarian sector - it is overburdened with HUGE businesses across the supply chains that do just enough to hold the spot but it could’ve been way better in terms salaries and production quality.

    meanwhile, there is basically a separate agrarian sector comprised of small businesses grinding to get by in the local economies - SOMEHOW these small companies have 50% higher average wages for most positions (excluding top management of course) and they rely heavily on cutting edge tech to keep the crops healthy and the land fertile.

    so what the big business does? increase the salaries? nah! improve the production quality? nah! they just bully small businesses with media campaigns bordering on libel - with graphs and shit explaining why small businesses are hurting the agrarian sector because they overpay employees while devaluing the products by being on the market and their cutting edge tech - that’s blasphemy man, that’s not how god intended.






  • down in Ukraine we have a dozen or so image analysis projects that can’t catch a break because all investors can think about are either swarm drones (quite understandably) or LLM nothingburgers that burn through money and dissipate every nine months. Meanwhile those image analysis projects manage to progress on what is basically scraps and leftovers.
