Oh, nice... techno-solution No. 456927493923990003038. You know... the same ole' techno-solutions they've been promising us will solve all the capitalism-instigated problems (ie, problems that aren't technological in nature) since at least the 80s?

I'll just go ahead and file this with the rest.

since at least the 80s

People have been reliant on "ole’ techno-solutions" since the dawn of humanity 2 million years ago on the African savannah, long before capitalism was even a thing. Just sayin'.

I think in this case it's a matter of definition what constitutes a "techno-solution", specifically the "techno" part. Just saying.

Soooo.... according to you people have been relying on "techno-solutions" to fix the problems caused by capitalism long before capitalism was even invented.

Yeah... that makes total sense.
