    To be fair to the engineers it’s not hard to do a better job then the people paid to be make our lives miserable for the profit of a few.

      A lot of engineers end up becoming those people. Elon Musk isn’t even an engineer, but that’s the general vibe I’m thinking of.

        Please don’t compare the benefactor of an apartheid gem mine to an engineer. Just because a lot fo dumbasses are engineers, doesn’t mean Musk the dumbass is an engineer.

          Which is why I specifically pointed that out.

          He’s just a guy who plays an engineer on TV, and in his own imagination. In reality, he got where he is by starting mildly rich, and then stumbling into blockbuster tech companies like 3 times in a row.

          You bet there’s engineers that have the same basic worldview, though. I’ve talked to many.
