we could use this to create technology to assist the disabled and elderly caring for themselves but that's not a big enough market so stupid bullshit it is

It's really frustrating that we have the know-how and resources to make technologies for making all sorts of people's lives safer/easier/better but because it's not "profitable" we don't. It's really maddening to me that we have all the assets and knowledge but not the will due to "THE MARKET©®™" deems it to be unprofitable.

yeah it's pretty deeply tragic like the people dying in Africa of diseases that there are cures and vaccines for but copyright law and the fact they aren't a big enough market to justify the cost of setting up a factory to make the medicine they need means they just die
