@jensorensen - The last panel gives me some Tom Perkins vibes (and makes me want some orcas). Web engine searches find two pages of gushing memories of Tom Perkins and his yachts before I finally found any mention of his 1996 manslaughter conviction for killing someone in a smaller boat who was in his boat's way.

@jensorensen. I feel this is a facade, they use 'Humanity' as a 'blanket statement', or 'blanket term' which they'll use to cover up their real motives, just like how people say in the name of 'democracy'. Please don't get me wrong there's actually really good wealthy people out there doing good things for humanity and have good intentions but are tarnished because of the bad ones.

@jensorensen It is amazing how the industrial billionaires have successfully diverted our attention to focus only on tech billionaires. Industrial billionaires have successfully bought themselves power for decades. They are quietly pointing us to look at the brash, flashy egotism of the tech Bro$.

@jensorensen this attitude is called longtermism and most of the tech elite are subscribers https://aeon.co/essays/why-longtermism-is-the-worlds-most-dangerous-secular-credo

@jensorensen Perfect. (unfortunately, your comic is right on the dime about the conundrum of the moment). Thank you for sharing.

@jensorensen Anyone remember the scene in Elysium where the machine told the protagonist he was exposed to radiation and was going to die, then dispensed a bottle of painkillers to help him check out? That is the best few seconds of near-future commentary I've seen lately.

@devnull@mamot.fr 2023-08-07 10:08
@jensorensen Probably because despite of their claims, billionaires don't want to "help humanity", they want to "help" other privileged billionaires with "problems" they perceived as theirs. And they create even more real problems in order to "solve" fictional ones, such "The problem is Earth, we need another planet", instead of "the problem is capitalism, our profits are not a reason to destroy the planet"…

@jensorensen this is the absolutest bestest cartoon I've seen in a while. Cuts to the point , through the bullshit, like a hot, caustic knife.

@jensorensen Personally i immediately glommed on to the “apartments: $3500/mo” line in the comic and exclaimed, “WHERE?”

I see one of those guys is inspired by Sam. But who was the inspiration for the other two?
