Tbf there has been a shift from manufacturing industry to financial industry.

And that financial industry bled into the other industries, and started stealing the credit.

Musk is a good example. The perfect one, really. True engineers and scientists could be the figureheads of those companies, but when you think Space X, you think of that wart of a human being.

Edison was a shithead with his company and his money, but he was still the genuine article when it came to engineering. More than can be said for Musk.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
