      Do they, though?

      Scientists drive innovation, engineers drive innovation

      Billionaires just throw money around

      Tax billionaires until their fortune is at a max of say, 10 million dollars. Use those trillions in tax revenue to fund a wife range of non profit orgs that will fund companies to improve innovation.

      Sounds like a much better solution than the current timeline

        I know he also wasted a lot of money (software side of metaverse), but he also put a lot of R&D into virtual reality headsets, which he will continue to develop.

            You’re saying the original Oculus is a better performing product than its modern counterpart? I don’t think you’re really saying that, so why won’t you be clear in what you’re actually saying instead of being vague and pretending you’re making such a smart and perceptive comment.

            Perhaps you’re talking about his business practices or his work ethic that you don’t agree on. Say something that doesn’t sound ridiculously stupid, and in such a manner that I can ACTUALLY understand what the fuck you’re talking about.

      I drive more innovation at my workplace than my C suites. The only thing they can drive is a pickup truck that doesn’t get anything put into the bed.
