They aren't solving any actual issues. They are just hogging resources and wasting them on their dream projects. They are taking away resources that others need to survive.

Yeah, I agree. I don't think absolutely any value came from Jeff and Elon going to space in penis shaped rockets.

Dreams are great, but we need those with means to give back more to society. We don't need mars colonies, we need common sense solutions to corporate greed, stagnating wages, and the growing threat of unchecked, privately-owned AI.

Worst part is that they will not deliver on their ludicrous promises because they are only meant to bedazzle people and pump up stock prices.
