Tech exploding in the US brought us lots of activity, but arguably not that much progress.

I mean, it's the backbone of the American economy and the reason most people here live comfortable lives. If we wanna virtue signal for upvotes sure, but if we pull the numbers pretty much everyone here is pressing buttons indoors all day and getting ~$200k for it.

Except our European counterparts, they still get ~$75k for it. But I guess "progress" because if they lose their job and bake bread instead not much in their life will change...
