Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I mean, yeah. People who develop technologies don't change the systems, and it's very, very wrong if we ask them to. If you rely on technology company to come up with the system, hyperloop happens. Don't let another hyperloop happen, don't come to technology company for the change of the system.
Hyperloop was a delibarate diversion tactic by a car company owner to kill discussion about an actually realistic train project
And that's only one of the many reasons technocompanies should stay in their lane, and shouldn't be asked to be involved in policy decisions.
The thing is, by and large, we're already almost "post scarcity". We have no problems requiring technical solutions; we already have the tech. There's no polio that requires Salk. We've solved most of our problems, we just don't like the solutions.
Better tech won't fix that because that's not a tech problem.
