YOU live in utter squalor and despair, no health, malnourished, suffocating under the toxic methanized and carbonized air.

Would YOU, fine sir, like to live in this world?

We may all die slowly and painfully... but we did it in the name of PROGRESS, so it's glorious.

That is not the correct definition of progress, it would more be the grotesque outcome of unmitigated greed and corruption.
