Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Shopping there is already an exercise in gouge-tolerance. The cheapest options for any given product are always sold out or close to it, while the expensive name brands are stocked to the brim. Everything is getting smaller, pricier, and made with cheaper and cheaper filler. I don't think they even use flour in Kroger brand bread anymore.
What's even more fucked up is we are overproducing food on a scale that is destroying the soil and a huge portion of food goes to waste well before it is even processed for sale (don't feel upset for tossing away leftovers... all of our leftovers combined are a drop in the waste bucket).
Yet despite this they insist on cutting more and more corners. In the 19th they did this and produced highly toxic results... and it was not only outlawed, but American food production made the prices so cheap that it was not needed anymore.
Yet we have shit being done today that would still shock people back then.
What else would they use? Sawdust?
Heavens no. They need to save that for the parmesan cheese shakers.
At least it's still lactose-free~
I have never experienced that there.
