  1. Cat videos are cool.

    arty shells, not so much.

    Sound like a personal problem to me.

    So what do you want to be a part of.?

    A High Tech industry with forward looking memes and ideas. One who fully supports progressive values and concepts?

    Or

    A stodgy , legacy, kluge, factory that has a huge carbon foot print, contributes to global warming, and produces lame steel cylinders from 1930s racist white culture technology?

    I think we all can agree which one correctly reflects our 21st century values. :)

  6. Then raise the price of a goddamn shell and buy more competitive energy? Do adults really need to be handheld through capitalism like this?

  7. Ask the free market. Apparently the demand for that is higher than for shells.
