Think most commenters are correct and that tech and screens have usurped more “medicinal” drugs.
What I find interesting is the general lack of care among folks here at HN. There was a comment thread about some person in AL alluding to not being able to find qualified workers at their government contractor implying a morale hang up on “weapon systems”
I’d argue tech kills more folks than these contractors but people can easily look past that.
- _Algernon_ 2y agoIt's a question of spectacle. 300 people dying in a plane crash is perceived as worse than 300'000 dying of preventable disease. (Or 1 insurance CEO being killed being perceived as worse than 50'000 being killed by denied insurance claims)
- kickout 2y agoThus my point. Cognitive dissonance at its finest (worst)
