We have refined finance to such a point that commodities now just materialise out of the ether through some kind of capitalist magic.

It's already bad enough living on Terf Island, Amerikkkans and Israelis would make it actual hell.

Yet as finance and business became more complex, the link from wealth to ownership of the means of production to managerial authority eroded.

Lol. Lmao even

Every species on earth has been evolving for about the same amount of time since we all come from a common ancestor. There is no such thing as any species being "more evolved", at least on Earth.

The introduction of AI has been hell for artists who say "good enough" at background detail.

Do they not allow reverting to previous patches?

It's similar to English words like Farmer, Lawyer, Bowyer, Sawyer and so on, where they're a person that works in that craft, though for cities instead when it was much more unusual to live in one.

It's like Rarbg all over again. Tragic.

German corvettes are very chunky though. They're quite a lot larger than Russian and Chinese ones.

Their Baden-Württemberg class frigate is a destroyer in all but name. It's fairly close to the size of a few missile cruisers.

The average human on earth in the expanse can live to a hundred and thirty quite comfortably, the rich and the martians considerably longer and in more comfort.

Are we getting worse results though?

NATO is spending 15 times more money to produce fewer munitions than Russia, and those munitions are not fifteen times as effective. Ukraine has not been able to make any significant changes in their frontline because they can only fire a fraction of the shells that Russia can and the imbalance is tipping further into Russia's direction.

Precision is important, but ultimately having cheap unreliable ammunition is better than having no ammunition.

It's basically the zap brannigan special of throwing meat into the grinder until it clogs using cheap, mass produced crap.

Every modern war between peers has been a test of one sides productive ability against the other's. The US won WWII, and forced a stalemate in Korea because it had enormously more industrial power, and could afford to spend equipment instead of lives.
