Best quote of the year

As far as I'm concerned.

But this is a Bloombergian technocracy of billionaires and activists, of people who think that “progress” makes things work, rather than things working leading to progress.

That's what's wrong with things today.  People assumed that time makes things better, but it isn't the passage of time, but an effort of will expressed through time.  If there's no will, there won't be a way.  There doesn't appear to be the will to get things done that actually matters in terms of making progress.

Example:  Tesla.  It solves no problems.  Sorry, but it really doesn't.  Not that it can't be tweaked and made to work in solution to some problems.  But as it is, no.

It may make a lot of money, but that money isn't increasing values and wealth.  It is at best a zero sum game.
