so this is why i think that reasonable engineers (and most actual engineers are reasonable, hence being an "engineer") should get together and make good stuff. stuff that is not corrupted by perverse incentives. an engineer is capable of understanding the flaws of an economy and how that can be detrimental to the functionality of some tool or system.

unfortunately as long as they're still subject to the whims of global capitalism, they will never be free from perverse incentives

subject to the whims of global capitalism
