one thing that daily amazes me is how much stuff like this there is around,
that completely ignores issues like climate change, or even ignoring that,
pollution, or scarcity of raw materials. And I ONLY mean from a VC point of
view. I find it amazing that things like these still get funding, really. As
an investment, company making certain products should be attractive to
investors like car makers still making cars as they did in the 50s.
