You asked:
That's what they heard.
They answered:
That's what you didn't hear I guess.
You guessed wrong
What they didn’t hear is the problems of society that the blind pursuit of commercial mining of minerals causes society.
But when commercial profit is your only motive, fuck people, right? Who gives a shit about them?
While I agree that the blind pursuit of capital will ultimately be our downfall, helium shortages actually have real, tangible effects on the very people you seem to vouch for.
I feel you're lashing out for the mere sake of lashing out, regardless of who your target is. We're on the same side here.
