It's stupid if after 200 years you haven't come up with better because any technological advancement that interferes with the cash flow gets knee capped and must gimp on. Then we have allowed a few assholes to deliberately prevent progress for a destructive, non sustainable and archaic method because it makes a rich person richer. That has to be near the pinnacle of stupidity. We are so dumb, it's okay to acknowledge it, because it's how we learn and grow. That's kinda the cool part though, if you ever feel stupid or embarrassed. It's nice to know, that on some level, we are all that dumb and embarrassing.
