It is very unfortunate, yeah. And I think they got a lot of STEM geeks to sign away their soul for the cool new toys over this. You get someone relatively naive who asks, "How can I make life better through my engineering/tech education?" and while the real answer might be "make a little box that's great for sleeping in and isolates you from all the environmental hazards that could disturb that," jews swoop in and say, "all of that, also here's your foreclosure."
It's really no wonder why I see so many of ourguys wanting to return to monkey. I think it's wrong-headed, but it is what it is.
