Do you support sustainability, social responsibility, tech ethics, or trust and safety? Congratulations, you’re an enemy of progress. That’s according to the venture capitalist Marc Andreessen.

People in extreme poverty world-wide are less than 10% and lessening over time. The majority of people don't have an intolerable or abhorrent life.

Ah yes when you state the world extreme poverty level at $2.85 a fucking day. What fucking fantasy world do you live in??

Neither do majority of people work more than 80 hours a week

Are you just retarded? The majority working over 80hrs a week are low skilled laborers working multiple jobs to make ends meet, tell me all about there amazing life when 2/3rds of the work week is just straight work which doesnt yeild enough time for a proper 8hrs of sleep when accounting for getting ready, eating, commuting or taking care of family?

The amount it people leaving poverty is happening so quickly it's amazing.

Compare abject poverty rates of now to 60 years ago and 100 years ago.

What's the point of being progressiv if you never accept that progress actually happens?
