I think you're missing something pretty major -- a touchscreen can support multiple UIs, menus, and controls, with minimal hardware. If I have 20 user adjustable inputs, I would need 20 dials/buttons scattered around the cockpit.

There's less supply of what? We still have plenty of food, plenty of homes, plenty of water. Yeah, we have less Airbnbs getting booked, and Ubers being called, but does that really fucking matter? It only matters to the VCs who have

Instead of pivoting to support the needs of Americans, we're shoveling money into massive corporations. Obviously it's not the American labourer who needs help. No, it's the shareholders and execs who run big companies. I lov
