Yep cyberpunk still perpetuates the idea that corporations are highly competent and innovators, which just doesn’t seem to be true in our current reality. The MBA/financial people have taken over and people that actually want to make cool stuff are no longer in control

I had lunch with a co-worker that spoke with a stupid grin about shaving a couple of cents off of their production units in the manufacturing process. Our products costed hundreds to even thousands of dollars.

I can’t believe there are people alive that are proud of this kind of stuff. He didn’t even have a stock compensated position, or work in manufacturing. He was just a capitalist creep that loved the very concept of being a cheap dumpster fire.
