Legacy media will not survive the billionaires. Luckily there are a lot of indies to fill the gap. End off an era. But not the end of independent media.

Our local manufacturing capacity is increasing. We’ve produced a similar but sturdier Cybertruck, named the Bergerblock (Left Photo.) We’ve also produced a facsimile of the humans we expect to purchase our Bergerblocks. Our artisan designer named it “Fragilis Masculinis” which is Latin, we think.
