Okay, but how about we still go with the subcontractor, but ... Hear me out here ... We call it AI and the subcontractor actually works in India for pennies on the dollar? Pivot to that and you've got my investment.
Thanks! Their story is interesting in and of itself (in its problematic way suited to the era), but I do try to give it my own flair.

No judgement - just from reading your comment I definitely get this vibe. I get it though. Most wireless stuff is either going to be heavily EQed consumer trash or overpriced audiophile stuff with all the latest buzzwords. There just doesn't seem to be much of a market for reference-grade stuff in a wireless format.
Not that I could justify spending a bunch on good headphones though, so I've settled for a low-end pair that sound acceptable for what they are.
From what I remember from writing an undergrad history paper on these dudes, it was used for lots of things such as a treatment for chlamydia (or another STI - I don't remember exactly). These dudes were banging their way across America, especially the black slave they brought along as apparently the locals thought he had big magic.
I'm not condoning any of this sort of colonialism - just clarifying that these dudes probably single-handedly introduced some new STIs to whole populations, and they were dragging their leaky mercury-riddled dicks along in their boats.
Yeah. I don't want to say I'm disappointed, because that would suck even more for the guy, but I will say I'm a little underwhelmed.
Also, what's with that insane autoplay video in the article using stock video footage to tell the story? Have we sunk so low?
Soon on Forbes or something:
"You'll be flattened to find out what industry millenials are killing next."
It's weird how in the Western world we rarely call them oligarchs. That seems to be reserved for the wealth-hoarders in former-Soviet countries.
I mean, Absurdism can (to a degree) take you from depressed to content. It obviously can't help with the actual chemical imbalance sort of depression that drugs can fix, but it sure can help with that good ol' existential dread.
It's been a staple of my mental health for decades, though the drugs certainly help. SSRI's for me, but whatever works for you.
TLDR: Absurdism is good and drugs are good too.
I once bought a Dr. pepper BBQ sauce, so in that case Dr. Pepper did indeed taste like BBQ. Perhaps more aptly, BBQ tasted like Dr. Pepper.
Good on him for doing the right thing, but a few thoughts.
True. Most of us are too paranoid or anti-social. (Including myself, to a fair degree.)
I'm sure your question was rhetorical, but for those listening from the back: Decades of intentionally under-funding public education, for a start.
