techbros gonna reinvent basic human interactions and scam people for things they already have.

trick as old as time. well, trick as old as capitalism anyway.

watching them reinvent the train, with all this interconnected, autonomous vehicle, EV trucking stuff is pretty funny. its a train guys. you just reinvented a train. good job. no trains are great, we've just had them for 150ish years already, thanks.
