A crew of engineers and experimenters invented the light bulb. Edison,
as you said, was too busy making money and infringing on other people's
patents like good capitalists are wont to do

Same with Rockefeller and oil refining. He knew less than squat about
petro-engineering.

No engineering background there. Just 'bookkeeping'.

So tell me Rockefeller was responsible for improving oil refining again?

Capitalism as an economic shitstem has only existed for a few centuries,
or so.

Your time estimate is just a little... bit... off.. Oh, and it won't be
'coming back around again'. Resources are finite. Unlike human greed and
obsessive compulsive accumulative behavior.

Regarding teror Living in a rat-infested ghetto while your boss shits in
a gold-plated toilet is terror, and a damn good reason to inflict terror
on your boss. Actually, they DO live in terror, but psychopaths don't
display 'distress'.

Want to know what they're terrified of (except violence in the
streets...)? They're terrified of dying (Roszak). Because that hearse
isn't going to have a luggage rack and their whole live's worth of
fuckery and thuggery and accumulation will mean less than shit when
they're rotting in a grave..

About that fear of violence in the streets.

ROTF suuuuuuure. For a start I predate transistors, and despite the fact
I didn't invent them (i was a little young), I understand how they work
and I certainly learned how to create a diode... In the boy scouts.
Building a crystal radio.

Besides, transistors, light bulbs and pencils keep sooooo many people
from starving in Malaysia. Right. Unhhunh.

Listen idiot I trained Thai farmgirls, who didn't even have the
cognitive skills for it, in precision machine shop inspection skills.
SOMEONE built a factory in their rice paddy, so they HAD TO work in it,
or starve.

That must be what you mean by: "Without capitalists, everyone starves."

You ARE a fucking apathetic-pathetic vicious midget.
