But what makes you think this particular billionaire doesn't also suffer from delusions of grandeur and thinks he too can make a submarine with parts bought at home Depot?

Got it, you are wrong and have an attitude

LOL... "there are no easy answers"... on one hand, you have people enjoying the beach and outdoors... on the other you have red necks driving irresponsibly and likely drunk... no easy answers, how can you choose?!

In the context of whether or not our teeth are fit to consume flesh, no?

Most capitalist countries still have universal heath care...

Certainly not in the US of A... but the rest of the world may have a chance if this actually pans out

A luxury is something extravagant, high quality, and highly enjoyable.

30 years ago, fast food may hit the "highly enjoyable" part... but now, for many, it's hitting the "something extravagant" part because of the cost (proportional to their disposable income)

Next step... Americans to view food as a luxury

something else wikipedia agrees....

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human#Diet

Humans are omnivorous, capable of consuming a wide variety of plant and animal material. Human groups have adopted a range of diets from purely vegan to primarily carnivorous.

Correct... In late stage capitalism "innovation" means breaking some laws (Air B&B, Uber), smoke and mirrors (AI) or outright scams (Theranos)

This is why all these new "innovations" need to flood the market as hard and fast as possible.... Before anyone notices what they really are

So happy I deleted my account with them 5 years ago after going throught their laughably bad customer protection (the only reason I had them to begin with, I had figured it was a good idea to have a buffer between merchants and my CC)

In the end, it was perfect because, as they refused to help, I went straight to the credit card to reverse the fraudulent charge and closed all accounts with PayPal... Then I get a whiny email from them when the CC took the funds and left them holding the bag... Sweet minor victory
