    Y’know I fucking hate startups simply because they seem to just exist to waste time and money. Doing some fucky R&D for old tech is fine and can be interesting since sometimes someone finds something new to correct old issues, but as soon as a startup gets involved it basically instantly turns into a boondoggle. This is the type of shit that should be left to the Skunkworks and borderline redneck R&D labs in towns you’ve never heard of not some dipshit who thinks innovation means slapping LEDs on everything.

      Hey, I have a great idea for transportation! Pods!

      — every startup these days.

      Always a bunch of tech bro’s who want to reinvent the train but worse, made an animation of it and somehow manage to hoard in millions for just a dumb concept which would never work.

        You must also watch Adam something. But yeah startups are pretty shit on a baseline, at least when they describe themselves as a startup since if I’m being honest a company just calling themselves new is less of a red flag word.
