People forget that 'efficient' in a capitalist sense means that all resources are used. So when you privatize security, prisons, public transport, etc. guess what happens: those companies try to extract as much value as possible and do as little as possible. Because that is what capitalist efficiency is.

They should be held accountable in a court of law.

I can't even remember, (very) expensive food is wasted on me. I enjoy a quality meal, but the top tier stuff just doesn't make any exceptional or special impression with me. It's just good food.

Yeah, not everything is super utilitarian. The other day we were in Antwerp's old harbor, which has these big open hangars. The roofs and pillars are pretty ornamental, and these are basically 19th century industrial buildings. Built today they would be all straight lines and flat panels.
I think it's cool if people imagine a future that's not just about technological progress but also culturally very different and even disturbing. I think Dune does a fairly good job at that.
Left because I was doing three jobs as one person. They couldn't hire a replacement with that job description (surprised Pikachu face). My new job wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be, so I got hired back in a properly defined job and that's been working out fine.
Mark Felton did a 6 episode series on YT on how the alleged burnt bodies of Hitler and Eva Braun found by the soviets, are actually plants.
Not that Hitler survived the war or anything, they were just buried elsewhere nearby, probably in a civilian mass grave, to prevent the soviets from parading the real bodies around.
Efficient at using up all resources and extracting as much value from them as possible.
