That's this universe we live in, the powers that be actively fighting progress, yet progress still is made. I'm grateful to those who progress technology and apply it to benefit humanity. The Drump administration just keeps losing.

As long as the progress is profitable.

Something that may be profitable to some may be costly to others. Like solar power is to coal companies.

'profitable' for him, as in bribes and 'donations' from specific persons to allow such projects in specific places, and for specific purposes.

They're not really fighting progress, they're fighting whatever they don't own that's competing with what they do own. Whether that's progress or convention doesn't matter to them. At some point if the other thing wins they switch tactics and start buying it.
