pretty typical with tech companies, people get too optimistic sometimes

People want to jump on the bandwagon and assume they know everything about new technology.

It's really easy to take advantage of these laymen with things like traveling to mars or... building underground highways of tubes so people can use transportation like those bank chutes.

I hope one day, we as a species can recognize these patterns so that we may take steps to break them.

We don't need some "big new tech" to solve the world's problems. We need to turn around and help out our fellow man who has less than us. We have the tools, just not the desire.

It's a cultural problem.

It’s typical for tech companies to organize as nonprofits and then restructure because they are losing cash?

Not sure if I’m misunderstanding you or what part you think is typical

It's typical for tech companies to reorganize because they are losing cash, yes.
